In a search for ways to improve track performance, some out of the box thinking led to the development of a modified Chevy Bowtie to offer improved aerodynamics. One of the Chevrolet engineers pointed out that the grille placement of the classic Chevy Bowtie was actually displacing air away from the radiator during aerodynamic testing, which was in turn affecting engine cooling. So to improve airflow to the engine, the team came up with the Chevy Camaro Z/28 Flowtie, a modified version of the classic Bowtie, since they agreed removing the Bowtie altogether wasn't a valid option.
The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Flowtie design features just the chrome bowtie outline, leaving the center of the badge open. Aerodynamic testing revealed that this modification allows three additional cubic meters of air into the engine per minute, resulting in a 2 degree drop in engine coolant and oil temperatures! The 2014 Z/28 is more capable than ever, and the modified bowtie is just one example of how the car will bring improved performance to the track!
If you can't wait to get your hands on one, you won't have to wait long because the Z/28 will be hitting the streets this spring, and we can help hook you up!
