There are plenty of videos comparing the s650 to the 6th gen camaro. IMO that’s not true, but there is one thing that the mustang has that is a direct copy of camaro.

The hood vent from the 2019+ camaro, c7 stingray and zo6

I would have preferred them to use the hood vent like the one in the design photos. It has a 5th gen gt500 esque look to it.

Meh, there's only so many effective options for hood vents, and that's the one. There's a reason why the GT350/GT500 also have theirs in the same place.

Just be thankful the S650 didn't go with dumbass hood nostrils a la Dodge.
 

just gonna send it

Don’t worry I’m sure that coming next. And why not. It’s not like dodge is gonna use it any more.

I guess the hood vent has to meet very complex regulations like pedestrian hit safety for multiple countries, actually venting enough heat from the engine bay and not leaking too much water in places you want it to be.

The Camaro obviously has a similiar styled vent, but I think it's meant to copy the Gen 6 GT500 hoodvent which is quite similiar too but just way longer

If you really can't stand it I am sure companies like Roush will have replacement vents shortly after S650 launch

what’s your point? Let’s pretend and say it’s an actual GM part. Then what?

The one on my Camaro looks just like the one from the ATS-V...so technically it's from a Cadillac. :)

edit: it's(ats-V) a little smaller so maybe not.

Does GM own a patent on what’s essentially the most generic heat extractor design, like what lol

Im calling it like I see it. The aftermarket including ford performance will more than likely offer alternatives
