Steve, Doug,

Well, actually, I have seen, sat in and driven one of the new SPF Coupes. While I like the car very much, I wouldn't trade my SPF Cobra for it. But that's not germane to this discussion. I'm not complaining about the design, and didn't mean, in any way, to denigrate all the engineering efforts which went into its development and production. My feeling, and again, only my opinion, is that non-functional side pipes on a car are like chrome doodle-covers on a Harley, or a non-functional hood scoop. If you like chrome bolt covers and axle covers and battery covers and fender tips and all that stuff, by all means hang 'em all over your bike. If you want to glue a hood scoop on your Camaro, great! I agree: the exhaust works just fine, but to me, anything non-functional detracts from the overall presentation. That's all...
