Default Engine compartment of the C7

Just a few pics I took of a jay Leno garage video. Looks like the PCV is something of a breather type? I see hoses heading up towards the airbox or separator? I also see the strips of rubber that seal to the airbox? Some sort of cowl type induction? Or is that air that is heading out after going over the radiator? Pretty cool setup can't wait til the road tests appear. Anyways just a few pics for conversation piece.





Whatcha think?

Almost looks like a factory catch can setup to me.

All the AFM stuff sucks. Adds weight as I understand the torque tube and shaft are steel due to NVH issues.
Plus durability is questionable.

X2^ I guess we will have to wait and see how the engine performs once a lot of miles start adding up.

That "airbox" is similar to what the American LeMans Corvettes have to help extract the air after going through the radiator. LG Motorsports sells similar hoods for C5/6 corvette racers.

I also look forward to see how the C7 handles. I'm thinking something similar to a C6 Z06.
