Default C6 Rear brake cooling ducts

Looking at a C6 on a lift today it was interesting to note that the C6 comes equipped with functional rear brake cooling ducts that bring air up from the bottom of the vehicle Was not impressed though with the small outlet for the front brake cooling ducts

Both front and rear ducts rely on the high pressure of the intake versus the low pressue inside the wheel to pull in fresh air.

I'm sure the cooling up front is adequate . If not ,
we'll know in about 8 months .

This was actually an issue that they went over on the Discovery Channel. They tried to make he ducts even smaller but had to leave them so no worries I am sure if they were good enough for the Nurboring they should be good enough here.

The front brake cooling ducts were discussed on the show on the discovery channel. They tried a larger size duct but that caused other probelms. There were trade offs so they ended up with this size. Hope it works!
