Default This hood....WHY???

At first glance, the words "uglier than a bucket of buttholes" pops into my head. Then I think, "well, maybe its got some crazy sheetmetal intake under it...." wrong.


Definitely not feelin' it: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ist=275#vdptop

There must be something cool about having a big massive hood you cant even see past....on a street car....

I think those hoods are disgusting, but I do like a somewhat bigger hood, they go with the look of some cars. I think 3" is perfect, I'd even like to try a 4" out on my car, but I don't think I'd be able to see over that, I'm kinda short.

ON DOPE. That Heads/cam built motor car probably doesnt make much more than my cam only car(peak hp).

Regardless, the hood is not only ugly, but unnecessary, as he added about 5 feet of clearance for no reason at all.

Anyone else notice he has truck coils on there. and are those stock manifolds? It looks like Mac headers from the Y pipe but the manifold looks all rusted like a stock one.
