Because Jay Leno and cars go together like David Letterman and Top Ten lists, it’s just not SEMA in Las Vegas without Leno at SEMA, and this year the roving car guy comedian introduced the Jay Leno '32 Bowtie Deuce Roadster, which combines several American automotive legends into a single ride that looks nothing like Frankenstein: The '34 Chevy, the '32 Ford Deuce roadster, a GM small-block V8, and the Corvette Z06. General Motors Performance Division engineers used the GM small block to pump the roadster full with an amazing 580-horsepower. It’s the same engine used in the 2006 Corvette Z06 and is available to enthusiasts only through GM Performance Parts.
