Id take the second one over the first one. Nothing wrong with a shiny engine bay, but I dont look at it unless something is wrong or Im working on it, Id rather have functional things. You know, an air filter, a radiator, a freaking intake, look at the first one, there is no intake, there is a manifold, but the intake looks like it might be in the bumper. You guys can stand and stare at your engine all you want, Id rather drive mine lol.

 

all gm models have been having more and more plastic. The older crowd seems to like them as it just provides a cleaner look for them...

it also covers a lot of the extra parts on the engine .....

ditch it all !

 

they always do that.... every concept is better looking than the production.

 

well... i'm not sure what really happened but I could bet a few things... the concept isn't easy to disassemble or practical... plastic weighs less... not really sure what happened, but this is what happens when you have a lot of people involved in something... many hands touch projects and it evolves far from the original... and designers are not like engineers

 

^technical explanation for what i just said lol

 

idk I kinda like it
This is the SS model LS3 V8

 

It is really looking great. I really like it.

 

I have to agree... the engine plastic covers don't look so hot.

I will fix that small issue given some time.... and if you buy and live in Phoenix give me a ring... or email. We can do some fitting and have new restyled covers made in carbon fiber. Make it look more like a muscle engine than some dressed up plastic junk. Again I have to agree Chevy invested their $ in making a nice car not nice engine bay. I could definately do some hot stuff with that bay!
