You know, I was just thinking the other day after seeing a new ZR1 that a window to see the best looking intake ever created would be absolutely awesome.

From the 1989 Chicago Auto Show:

A 1990 Corvette ZR-1, seen in the foreground of the Chevrolet exhibit, is featured during the ’89 Chicago Auto Show. For display purposes, the high-performance model wore a transparent hood to highlight the brand new 5.7-liter (350 cubic inch) V-8 engine that developed 385 horsepower.

The 1990 Corvette ZR-1, a super-performance model introduced by Chevrolet that year, was on display during the ’89 Chicago Auto Show, with its four-cam, 32-valve 5.7-liter (350 cubic inch) V-8 engine displayed beneath a transparent hood. Across the aisle, a sign promotes the Ford Thunderbird.

Left to Right :

Man in jacket - " If I took that crazy thing off the top I know it would fit in my Vega."
Old lady - "Did I turn the oven off before I left the house?"
Blazer dude - "I'm in love. I think I'm going to cry..."
Crazy hair guy - "That is totally tubular, dude."
Plaid sweater - Sigh..."I'll be so glad when I can come out."
Hitler stache dude in the sweater - "I'm gonna take this rolled up paper and kill this wingnut with the camera."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was totally meant for fun. If I offended anyone, I apologize. I just couldn't resist.
