When GM engineers began running aerodynamics tests on the Camaro Z/28, they noticed something troubling: The bowtie emblem in the grille was actually shoving air away from the radiator, thereby decreasing cooling efficiency. Engineers redesigned the badge, gutting the interior and leaving a bowtie silhouette in its place.

They call it the Flowtie, and they're serious. The change is enough to shove an additional 3 cubic meters of air through the grille per minute, and that extra air dropped the engine coolant and oil temperature by a full 2 degrees Fahrenheit during track work.

Engineering and bowties are cool.
