That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard.

Very sharp (non-Ram Air) car!

I think the base hood does give the sleeper factor to some, most people think that the ones with the "bulgy" hoods or nostrils are the fast ones and the rest are slow. However i dont want a sleeper look, I want it to look as mean as it is going to sound and perform. I like the Raptor because i like the smooth lines and the round, non divided nostrils. While they are both beautiful hoods the firehawk isnt enough rise and the WS6 is a little too sharp.The Raptor combines both

The flat hood isn't the "V6 hood" given that even Formula's have it, as do regular T/A's.

There is a certain appeal to a black T/A with the flat hood, rims, and nice rake to it. One thing I like about the flat hood is that it makes the car appear flatter, and therefore, wider. I love my WS-6 hood, but sometimes it just makes it seem ultra narrow and very rounded (left to right), like a late 90s Mustang or something. Of course, stock ride height has something to do with that too I'm sure. lol

Anyway, nice car Zeeman.
