The pics in the first post are the smaller version. These are the same pics, but in the larger 1200 pixel versions straight from the original source of the leak. Left Lane news: http://www.leftlanenews.com/photos/c...picture-1.html
You can see more detail. Let me know what goodies you guys can pick out!

Burning Brakes
Maybe not, as you may know, splitters and ground effects are not nearly as effective unless your car is slammed on the ground. The air dam might actually be beneficial in creating a "slammed" effect without actually having to sit too low, preventing air from going underneath the car. I doubt they stuck that on there for looks. You can look at it and tell it's been in the wind tunnel for hours upon hours.
It could actually be a brilliant work around. I bet this thing produces some great DF numbers not to have a big wing and splitter.
If so, GM has really outdone themselves.

The C5 was a bottom breathing car. The air dam helped push the air from under the car up into the radiator and intake.
The C6 it was used to help push air into the brake cooling ducts.
Other than that the air damn only helps with providing lift on the nose of the car.

Gonna need some small, integrated splash guards behind that front tire to keep from sandblasting the side of car and those gorgeous rear fenders.

The only reason the air dam was used on the Vette was for two reasons.
The C5 was a bottom breathing car. The air dam helped push the air from under the car up into the radiator and intake.
The C6 it was used to help push air into the brake cooling ducts.
Other than that the air damn only helps with providing lift on the nose of the car.

Aero is a package, on my screen it doesn't even look like the air dam goes all the way across anyways.
