Sooo,
I am at SAAC 33 and got to thinking.....If we built a GT 350, what kind of scoop(s) would you like on the hood?
I know I have my preferences, even though I do like all of them for different reasons.
I think it would be cool to see what everyone else is thinking. Remember, you can only pick one!

A functional GTH/CS6 hood.

If the scoop(s) are not part of the hood (as opposed to tacked on like the Shelby GT) and not functional, do not bother!

How about somthing like this..............

[stump_breaker]

No scoop. Functional heat extractor hood.

[StrayShadow]

A functional shaker hood scoop would be killer!

E, I'm with you, more heat extraction less ram air. It also depends forced air induction or natural aspirated?

[GT500-07]

also do them in CF, less weight

I thought a bit more about this last night. Scoops.....we don't need no stinking scoops.

Sure they are good for the nostalgia but with the way cars are designed now a days, they aren't needed. Minus the faux Mustangs of drag racing, I don't think any of the Mustang race cars have scoops to enhance their performance. In fact a scoop may even hurt performance with increased drag more then any benefit from ram air.

I say give it a unique hood and fascia to match. Something that sets it apart like the GT500's does and one that is at least no heavier then the stock hood. Lighter would be awesome. Able to withstand 100+ speeds is a must.

Ram air in, venturi effect to pull the heat out. through the vents. Vents located near the rear of the hood where the heat is, with a manual lever to close if in the event encountering rain when driving. KR hood design looks functional. Attach two high speed fans to the hood one for each vent which spin with the ram air in and spin with a programmable thermostatically controlled switched when no air is flowing . I think this would make quite a bit difference and help keep the engine cool when driving 130MPH+ on the autobahn.

A Sunday drive is a drive where you are driving it like you stole it, while still treating it with respect.

This forum topic brings one thing to mind: Marilyn Monroe standing on a street walk vent and the air flowing to get the heat out.

I like the 1967 type - see photo posted above. I guess it depends on how the new body style looks.

Robert, I too like the 1967 type over all others, but I couldn't vote for it.
Through a Chip Beck thread (and others) I learned how non-functional
the 65-67 scoops really were, so that's why I voted for the KR type.
Function over form every time. I would also agree with the other posts
about heat extraction, but since this poll was about scoops not vents,
I'll stick to my original choice. But if a functional sccop of any type is not
practical, then I say just vent the thing.

I also noticed in your .sig about your former 1988 SSP. I had to let my
1993 SSP go to a good owner last year... still miss it.

I also prefer '67.
And I would also prefer function, if it makes sense. Looks like '67 is closing in on 'winner' status. Interesting, I thought that I would be in the minority on this...

I personally like the Terlingua Deep Draw hood. It should be functional and I agree, it should not be an add on it should be molded. I am a little suprised by the results also.

[Dig-It]

I'm with GT-350 (see sig)!

[roger-SAI]

Some of these styling cues would not be bad





And the shock/brake set up is not bad either

[awakeinAZ]

Functional heat extractor!!!!

Crispy, I've been thinking. We might have to return to this forum later in the year (after November), because any rendition of a GT350 at this stage is going to based on the 2010 Mustang and not what's out now.

And even though the differences between the 2010 and the current stang are somewhat subtile, there are differences, and we are basing our thoughts and opinions about the hood on what the current body styling is, and those thoughts and opinions may change/differ after the new body style is revealed.

But it looks like we are all in agreement on one thing, and that thing is that we all want a functional hood on the GT350.

Just something that we should consider, that's all.

I'm going to have to go with the functional heat extractor.
