I like it. I wonder how it would do on a race track.

I wonder if the air passing through the scoop and out the back would create a low pressure area and help extract hot air from the engine bay. And maybe it'll also allow the radiator to be more effective?

I'd never pay that kind of money though.

All I see is something to limit visibility. I had a 2001 SS and the hood buldge is in the middle of your field of vision....as compared to the Z28 where you can basically only see the wipers.

There is a high pressure zone at the base of the windshield. Adding high pressure from the front is likely to result in cooling issues. I fought something similar with the cowl hood on my 1992 Z28. The car wouldn't cool. It had a huge AFCO aluminum radiator in it and it was only about 370 hp, but it was running 242 degrees (and climbing) at Nashville Superspeedway. I finally realized the air at the windshield is being forced into the hood and pressurizing the engine bay enough to limit airflow through the radiator. We capped this with ABS plastic and that hood is now on Racerdad's car. He has a Griffen radiator (as I remember) that's probably not quite as much radiator as my AFCO was, and he's making 500-600 hp...the car cools fine.

Your results may vary. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
