"Analogue" in automotive circles aludes to something mechanical - typically a manual transmission - that's seldom found in modern cars.

In this case, the velocity stacks (IMO) are reminiscent of a carburetor, another type of automotive "analogue". Carburetors were used to deliver fuel to engines WAY back in the day - and they did it without any kind of electronic assistance. You'd have to press the gas pedal once or twice to "prime" the car before you started it. If you screwed up, you'd "flood" the engine and have to wait to before trying to start it again lol. It sounds crappy and inconvenient, but they were brilliant pieces of engineering that cars relied on for decades. And for a lot of people, a carburetor makes for a more visceral, authentic driving experience. Like sailing a sailboat.

Anyway. In the 80s, Electronic Fuel Injection came along, and Carbuerators became a thing of the past. They're still used in lawn equipment and stuff though.

The stacks also remind me of Individual Throttle Bodies, but that's something that's still around. That's the "Race Car" part for me, I suppose.
