[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 30787, member: 1228"] [b]The Look[/b] Back in the '60s and early '70s it was more about the look than functionality. The cowl plenum setup wasn't visible when you were driving down the street. It was strictly business. The cowl induction hoods , hood scoops and especially the enormous Dodge hood scoops were a performance statement......or something. Lots of stripes and rear spoilers did the same. How well all this stuff worked didn't really matter, it made the cars look fast and that was what really mattered to most people. As far as hood scoops, nothing looks better than the '67 stinger. I liked my old COPO Chevelle. Plain and simple. It looked like any other SS car except for the lack of emblems. Under the hood, it looked like any L78 Chevelle, again, with no decals. It just ran a little better. ;) I've just always liked the sleeper look. My long standing line has always been, "Don't bark bigger than you can bite." I guess that's what I like about your Corvette. ALL BUSINESS, BIG BARK AND BIGGER BITE. Stan, a friend of mine has a black '68 Camaro. Looks stock as a rock on the outside, yet it runs very low 10s. My kind of car. [/QUOTE]
