    It's even uglier than the illegitimate child of Amy Winehouse and Lyle Lovett. Sure it can sing - hopefully, in the dark where nobody can see it.

    Looking at these pictures makes the front look like the Family truckster. It has one set of lights and a grill above another set of lights and a grill. If the front fascia isn't chunky enough, it has a damn air dam to really chunkify it.

    It's like the ice cream cone cereal. I liked the idea, but the finished product left something to be desired. #pontiactransam

    There's way too many edges on the front end of this thing. Maybe in black the rows would be less obvious, but at first glance it looked like a mutant, like the Family Truckster. #camaroz28

    @Novaload: I kinda like the CTS-V type lower intakes, but agree that there's something kinda off on the whole front. Maybe the black hood edges?

    If it were coming down the street, though, I'd be scared in the good way. #camaroz28

    I rarely watch Leno-boring, dumb-but I do spend quality time at 'Jay's Garage', and can't help notice how personable, engaging, and just plain enjoyable a guy Jay is when he's discussing stuff that he's obviously passionate about-cars and bikes. He's smart, articulate, seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of a huge range of motorized vehicles, from Stanley Steamers to early Harleys, he cracks off-the-cuff wise at the appropriate times, and just seems to be enjoying the hell out of these little video segments. Conversely, his nightly gig, in comparison, appears to be a 'job', a vehicle (you heard me) for a massive paycheck that allows him to accumulate his collection. Not to mention the auto-oriented swag that must be delivered in daily semi-loads.

    I'm not saying NBC should paste together a nightly hour of Jay showing us his newly-rebuilt jet bike-but, hey, I'd be a convert. #camaroz28

    These 'forward' hood vents seem to be all the rage lately. In other cars, I think they're there in most cases for aerodynamics - to evacuate air from under the car/hood and send it over the roof and rear spoiler - as opposed to engine cooling.

    But why do I get the feeling they're on the Camaro just for 'looks'? #camaroz28

    Am I making too much of this? Drawing a connection where there is none? Mis-understanding the purpose of those foreward hood vents? #camaroz28

    @Racin_G73 - dirt track legend (some day ... maybe): You said that the Ford GT is "another example of its use for 'go' rather than 'show'. I'm not quite sure what that means. Are you saying that it runs well, but doesn't look good? #camaroz28

    @skaycog: Not at all! I'm saying that the nose of the car is setup to use air flowing through the grill and then up over the 'vents' to keep the nose firmly planted to the track. Resulting in "go", which was the motivating factor to include it in the car's design.

    I can't think of anything on the Ford GT that you'll ever find me insulting, devalueing, etc. I lust for the GT-40/GT - old, new, gulf oil livery or not. I was trying to contrast non-functional hood vents which are purely for "show" and result in little to no "go" benefit and - in some cases - may actually steal power and/or aerodynamic efficiency. #camaroz28
