RE: GT500 conversion completed today
Your car looks fantastic.
Why didn't you change the hood ?
Can someone explain to me the functionality [if any] of the GT500 hood. I know that it has vents on top - do they work? Can they be opened and closed?
Thanks as usual.

I think the reason we don't run emblems is it just looks cleaner without it IMO. Main reasonI did the conversion was to ditch the cluttered up grille and the rally racing foglights, so adding an emblem kind of defeats the purpose.
mail906-The Cobra hood has vents on it to cool down the motor, the supercharger gets crazy hot, and the heat causes a parasitic loss in hp. Its also a butt ugly hood(the vents look like an afterthought), and too bulky looking and screws up the smooth lines of the car.

I had the tribar pony on mine as well but took it off for the clean look. One of the main reasons was my 3 year old hated it. He wants the Cobra on there. He doesn't understand all these really stupid debates going on here, he just likes the snake. I took it the pony off for now and he has'nt said anything yet
