[s-cars] Drilling the hood

None other than Mike, I'll show you the way to San Jose, Pederson owns the S4
that was run in the 1997 One Lap of America car. This car does have, and we
hope will run someday, a 2.6 stroker motor and a permanent vented with
louvers hood. I believe these louvers were sourced from a Chevrolet Cavalier,
which as we know in America was a powerful muscle car. In all seriousness, I
have thought this through myself and believe that a large slot just behind
the radiator with a large hump just behind that would be a possible solution.
The hump would speed the airflow over it causing a low pressure area to draw
the hot air coming off the back of the radiator. There are several high end
front engine super cars that have sucessfully used this design. HTH.

Hap, dreamin' of vented hoods in Evergreen, Maguire
