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

Idk. The opening in the rear is actually higher than the base of the windshield. I wonder where how high up the windshield you have to go to get away from that high pressure area.
Either way, I think it's cool that someone is still making stuff for these cars. And I like that he is trying something new. |

If you imagine a bulldozer and the dirt it pushes up. The windshield is about like that, but with the blade raked back some. The air "piles up" in front of it and looks for a low pressure place to go. It's either forced over the car or forced into the engine compartment if it takes less energy than going over the car. |

Do you think a cowl hood has any negative affect on cooling at AX speeds? |

My 3rd gen overheated autocrossing. We used to spray the radiator between runs with a bug sprayer full of water to cool it off. This was with a rather large air dam on the bottom (we extended the stock air dam with ABS plastic and it still wouldn't cool). It had a 3,000 CFM fan on the radiator and still couldn't seem to cool down. With two drivers it was all we could do to keep it from melting down. Your results may vary. |
