Aerodynamics and cooling. The ZL1's front end is designed so aerodynamically perfect when it comes to letting air in for the supercharger and cooling the engine bay that changing the front end over to the 2014+ wouldn't have made sense. The Z/28 being naturally aspirated can use the 2014+ frontend.- Brian Meissen

IF there's any truth to it.....when engineers "design" vehicles....aesthetic failure is imminent. So the case with the ZL1.Originally posted by meissen View PostAerodynamics and cooling.

Meh. The refreshed base model cars with the flush headlights remind me of someone smashing their face against a glass window. I do agree on the lower/sharper proportion though.Originally posted by OVRKILL View PostThe most compelling feature on the "old" 5th gens that says, "I'm a huge *****" is that awful front end. One of the reasons for my change in opinion on the '14 is the lighter appearance of the front end. Proportionally, it's still pretty big, but MUCH better than the previous attempt. Why they kept it on the ZL's for the refresh only people in the know will know. Now if there only someone you could we ask

With the wide variety of bricks and eggshells on the market, ill sacrifice aerodynamics for good styling. But i actually like the splitter.Originally posted by MP81 View PostAnd then you end up with a vehicle that performs in a sub-par manner. It has happened time and time again.-Joel

In a vehicle where speed and handling isn't the first priority, it's definitely okay to sacrifice a little bit to have something that appeals visually, but doesn't give up all of it's performance potential in doing so.Originally posted by JoeliusZ28 View PostWith the wide variety of bricks and eggshells on the market, ill sacrifice aerodynamics for good styling.

You're just going to have to trust me on this one, but just because you went to Creative Studies and claim you're a "designer", it doesn't mean you're a good "designer".Originally posted by Lucky SOB View PostAn automotive designer... (Artist)
They are intentionally kept in the dark and ignorant about the product they're designing.
And the supposition that the ZL1's fascia is "aerodynamically perfect for the supercharger" is a complete falsehood...sorry, B...

Looking at the aerodynamic fluid (air) flow models on it, looks like a legit reason to me.Originally posted by meissen View PostThat's the published reason from the Camaro team - what's your excuse?Gone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
