Ken & John;
There is a book about the development of the Camaro for the Trans-Am racing
series that was written by Mark Donohue. I've forgotten the name of that
book but it is filled with all kinds of stuff and I'm pretty sure the air
intake location was researched by Chevrolet for their Trans-Am cars.

Not an expert, by any means, but I noticed several of the roadsters
(and coupes) at this years finals, ( and I did a LOT of looking) had
ducts to the grill area for air intakes.
