Bowties are cool, but the Flowtie is cooler
They call it the Flowtie. Seriously.

When GM engineers began running aerodynamics tests on the Camaro Z/28, they noticed something troubling: The bowtie emblem in the grille was actually shoving air away from the radiator, thereby decreasing cooling efficiency. Engineers redesigned the badge, gutting the interior and leaving a bowtie silhouette in its place.
GMThey call it the Flowtie, and they’re serious. The change is enough to shove an additional 3 cubic meters of air through the grille per minute, and that extra air dropped the engine coolant and oil temperature by a full 2 degrees Fahrenheit during track work.
Engineering and bowties are cool.

"Its a bowtie, bowties are cool, bowties will ALWAYS be cool!"
Thats pretty neat info space. Shows you all the crazy thought and engineering that goes into a cars performance and how much of a fine tuned race built machine the new cammaro's really are

Power 4 the people that can afford (WoW)`We's
Hi `David & thanks for being the first to post on this thread.
Yes, it's amazing how important it is to get the correct amount of air to high performance engines.
Chevy is doing a Super Super Job
I'm looking forward to seeing what Ford does to the Mustang
Competition is good for the performance consumer 4-Sure
I'm so thankful to be connected to the `web & get constant updates on what's out there or is going to be out there on our highways of life...My dream list is overloaded 4-Real >

LoL `David, I live in a dream world & I'm working hard to make my dreams come true...(life, keeps getting in the way)
I won't give up 4-Sure (LOL)
I keep a roll of paper towels close when I view vid's like above.
Here, I''ll share >

Who's gonna be the first to flowtie their Monte?
Is a great dream 'Space! And I swear, if I ever win the lottery I'll find you and get you one of those 2015 Z06s. Nobody deserves it more. And they'll probably give me a deal on 2 of 'em...
