I saw this Ad in my popular mechanic mag. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

Good catch!
I'm not sure I would have caught that if I were just glancing at the page.
Just wish the guy wasn't so goofy looking....

Cant be the alternator the Air cleaner assembly is still atached to the airhorn/plenum. :razz: Maybe oil sending unit. Or just a bad photoshop position :wave:

The hood strut support is on the wrong side too. Photo is flipped.

For a better view, this ad is shown on page 27 of the December 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics. It is a full page ad.

It definitely looks like they added the guy afterwards to the engine shot. Scale, lighting and focus differ.

The car photo is flipped with the hood hold open brace on the right hand side.

Good news is that they did choose a shot of the LT5 engine. That will be only be recognized by a select few!
