The speedos are not as inaccurate as one might think...

This thread has been through the incorrect speedo part with harsh results.. take a look. I've hit the limiter so I know the car can do it. This thread isn't about the speedo- it's about stability.

I have never had any problems with the 'Hawk hood. That thing is rigid. I have never seen the hood quiver at speed.

Yeah up there in Ohio the state makes so much money off the truckers, they put speed traps every 2 miles it seems like. I drove through there a few times. My condolences

Does anyone know if the base T/A hood is more aerodynamic than the WS6 hood?

Gotta be better than the R/A hood. Not as much of a profile, less resistance.
