Is the extractor scoop behind the frint wheel well functional on the 6-liter model or only on the Z06?

Sure it works, that's why it's there. It lets the air in the engine compartment that has entered through the radiator exit.

I didn't know the bottom of the engine compartment was sealed.

I thought that it was for brake cooling but there is no obvious ducting as you can see from the front facia into the wheel well.
