I just got a 2017 Grand Sport and I was wondering where I could find descriptions of the cooling systems. I know the intakes above the rear wheels are for Trans./Diff. cooling. But don't don't which side cools what or if both cool both components. I'd also like to find out what the upper and lower air vents at the rear of the car are exactly venting.
I'd also like to know if someone can recommend good write ups about the car's suspension and chassis system?

Driver's side is the trans and the passenger side the differential cooler.
The rear ducts are for the coolers and brakes exit air.
Found this early review by Edmunds excellent as it has lots of pics. It's for a Z51 but the Grand Sport is about the same with wider tires:

Here is picture of the transmission cooling duct in the left rear quarter. The duct exits through the vertical vents in the rear fascia. The diff cooler on the passenger side is similar except it doesn't have the cooling fan. This was a Z06 Cutaway Model that was on display in the Chevy Exhibit during the Woodward Dream Cruise this year.
Manual has a cooler in a Z51/GS/Z06 as well. Unlike an auto that has a pressure pump in the converter that operates when the engine is running, the manual has a pump in the trans that only pumps when the car is moving! Don't recall if the manual includes a fan on the cooler.
