@iamdub curious on your thoughts.

I like the idea, but am not 100% on board with the execution. I give props for finding and using a lip from another vehicle, especially when it flows so well with the Tahoe. It has form and function, so, I dig that. Being critical, it looks too rounded for my preferences as I'd lean more towards the functional aerodynamics aspect. Although, I'd guess that its shape was a compromise between aesthetics, aerodynamics and daily drivabilty (bull-nosed for curb bumps). I'd be more inclined to have something more like the ZL1 lip, just not quite as prominent and not as sharp-angled to better match the Tahoe's shapes and lines.

I really like the next gen cars and been watching both them and the Xfinity older cars every week. I watch them on YT premium so I have to wait a week for them to post it. Just finished up the Daytona races from last weekend. Wicked ass tumble here at the end 1:22 wicked shot of it. And @2:40.

That is so many triple axles.....Olympic judges everywhere would be proud. He never even took a breath, or reset in between the groups.

Also, I remember my tyco race cars doing the same thing........and the Nascar's now look like they did, super flat bottom and all. Just sayin'
