So....brake ducts?

ImportConvert · 10-24-2011, 03:06 PM

Did the '12 get brake ducts, or is the "ducting" mentioned in the '12 advertising just a creative way of saying that airflow is managed underneath the vehicle?

I doubt it... it would have been blasted everywhere if that was the case. I'm sure we would have all heard about it to no end by now.

while I was at the dealership yesterday picking up our new rogue, I flipped thru the 2012 Z brochure and i didn't see any mention of brake ducting or oil coooler for that matter. Now we know for a fact there IS in fact a oil/water cooler so just cause the '12 brochure is just a reprint of the '11 doesn't mean much.

I told the GM (friend of mine) to let me know when they get theri first '12 Z in and check for brake ducting so hopefully I'll get eyes on this/confirmation at some point.

I could not find mention of the oil-cooler, but physical evidence suggests otherwise. Here is what I was referring to...

Thanks! Was a christmas gift for one of my friends. I tend to give firearm related stuff (getting CCW permit for one of my female friends, and a couple of modded Surefires for another couple of my friends, etc.)
