ZR1 hood photo
Found this online and noticed that it shows a really good front view of just how large the "bulge" on the hood is, so passing it along for that reason.
Obviously requires more clearance than our TVS-1740 does, but is it just a bigger blower?

That is a considerable increase in the hood bulge. One of the better photos of the front grill that I've seen as well. Maybe has an oil cooler on one side and water on the other of the main grill to help cooling?

Maybe they're putting a twin screw compressor on it with an adequate intercooler in place of of the less efficient roots hybrid (cheaper cost) blower that's on the Z06.
While I'm not a big fan of the Hellcat, I do give Chrysler props for using a screw compressor on it.

It's kinda taking a design cue from the ZL1 if that hood is even close to what it'll actually have.

My bet since the 2650 rotor pack was released last November/December was that the new ZR1 will have a 2650 blower. The new hood seems to support that. The 2650 will be a game changer.

I like the whole thing....the nose, the new vents in the nose, the hood-everything looks great.

Just getting rid of the spats is worth a $10,000 increase in the MSRP.

I think the new Camaro looks pretty nice, but the ZL1 hood is a little out there in my opinion. Same goes with the supposed ZR1 hood and front fascia.
Tom Peters has done a heck of a job design wise on the Stingray, gen 5 Camaro, and new Camaro, but I think I'm seeing a little Aztek coming back out of him as of late.

Agreed... 2650 rotor pack, more cooling, more fueling, maybe fully forged assembly. I'd expect a stout 700-750whp with the cooling to get a few more laps over the Z06

I think the whole nose and fenders are wider.
Front of this car looks awesome!

They sure are milking that camo, which doesn't seem to have any camouflaging effects close up. I do like the hood... and the whole front clip, including the splitter
