Last time I checked there was a stripe thread... Why not post about the stripes there?
Why are scoops that work and stripes important to most of us? Well Let me try to explain it to you. Soldiers on the battlefield can try to tell you what it was like, what it smelled like,and looked like as the smoke cleared. But sadily unless you were there you cannot and will not ever know what it was like to drive no excuses hi RPM factory performance cars.
Stripes and functional air intakes are the guide posts back to a time when a DZ 302 or a LT-1 equipped Camaro could beat a car with over a hundred additional cubic inches at both the drags and on the street.
When the race was over bold stripes and/or functional air induction were the stark memories left on the opposing car owners and on the proud driver of that special stock factory Camaro. That is exactly why these cars command a cult following, make the cover of car magazines over and over and still hold the high prices they do today.
Believe me there is something very special and and profound about a 7000 RPM Power shift in a factory stock car. If you were there or have the ability to do so then you know what I am talking about.
2010 is going to be very special for many of us. Camaro traditions need to be as authentic as possible and I believe Chevrolet is working to correct what needs to be corrected as production gets closer. Will they get it right? Time will tell.
