It would make no sense for the SS hoods to say as they aren't even close to the air lid. Not like the WS-6 hood does much anyway. lol

The word "Ram" in alot of languages means "GOD"
Ram Air is same as saying "GODS AIR" Natural air (Given by the creator) going into the car's hood scoop.

It's wierd, but makes sense.

looks like a child drew the word air and two arrows pointing to a ws6 on paint

but it makes sense now -- its kind of hard to see the air being RAMed in when it just says air


i always thought the letters in ram actually meant some thing -- like how cai is cold air intake

but i guess the name is just as useless as the hood

I guess he thought you were at least smart enough to figure that out. I guess he was wrong.

ohhh -- nothing wrong with it

it was just cold outside in the morning and a little frost had built up on the hood

it shows the outlines of the ss hood design when you leave it out over night

yeah pretty much -- specially because the thread was about "that does the ram in ram air stand for?" so how would i know what the word air and two arrows on a ws6 meant

I wouldn't say it is useless and it looks really mean.
