praedet Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I was in the parking lot of my favorite French store, Target, when I saw this car... http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/praedet/Maxima/MaximaScoop1.jpg It must be wicked fast because it has a hood scoop. On closer inspection I noticed that the hood scoop is closed off. I am guessing that is to reduce the drag created by the hoodscoop. That makes it even faster. A hoodscoop that is closed off!!!!! I am headed out to my car right now to block mine both for aerodynamics, and of course just in case it rains or I wash the car http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/praedet/Maxima/MaximaScoop2.jpg I know the pics aren't great, they were taken w/ my phone...

TSiWRX Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Dude, it's closed-off because he didn't want to melt any more stuff! He's probably already melted-off his aftermarket, custom-built TMIC from his last carwash/rainstorm! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JessterCPA Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I love how far back the scoop is on the hood. Almost like the "Cowl Induction" hoods Chevy had back in the 70's. jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
