Actually, the muscle car era of the 60's was INFESTED with non-functional scoops and crazy stripes. In the context of the era and the cars, I take all that stuff in stride. We had this discussion out fake vs. functional styling cues awhile back, so it doesn't need a re-hash. I just think this car is too flippin busy. A little restraint, and you'd get twice the "mean" effect, less frivolous looking image, and more class. If cars were humans, this thing would be Randy Savage of cars. I'd rather be a prize fighter, less fake, less show, less glitz, WAY more respect and awe.
