While I was bored, and looking outside at the 19. I was thinking just how much drag does the 19's bonnet Slow the car down by 1 mph - 2 mph. And just how it's it slowing it down, when your doing something like 1/4 Mile run etc.

Effect will be bugger all, not even measurable.

Maybe if you were approaching mach 1, but not at car speeds.

apparently the vent is there for a reason-to help cool the exhaust manifold
which i think is supposed to help make the car produce more power

exactly how this works i don`t know

everyone correct me if i`m wrong
