Default Running with hood and hatch off?

Lol it would look pretty stupid with no rear hatch but between the two i would imagine at least 100 pounds

Are there any problems with running with no hood

no hood would make you less aerodynamic

it would make you look like a ricer...and noone with an LS1 Camaro should have any hopes of looking like a ricer.

The drag force penalties would outweigh the weight savings, plus you would look <img border="0" alt="[rainbow]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_rainbow.gif" />

Go for it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

With out the hatch you could haul *** with the windows down and have no drag from the rear windshield. Put the hood back on though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
