How do you guys think these ground effects would look combined with a RamAir hood? I'm talking the LT-1 style ram air, not the '98 and newer style.


This doesn't look ***** does it?!?!

"A musclecar, by definition, is a powerful and sporty vehicle that must be able to spin its tires at will. The Firebird Trans Am is capable of laying down twin black streaks of rubber several hundred feet long. We wanted to be sure it could, so we did it a half dozen times in the name of automotive science."-MotorTrend
