ok you are just a moron. its not like putting amd in an intel board because u can put a CF hood on a white car yes it is possible we have all seen pictures and it works very well.(still functions)you cant make an intel board function with an amd chip. i dont even think you can paint CF because you would have to sand it and that would ruin the top protective coating. so now you have just shown your ignorance on cars and computers.Quote:

a CF hood is lighter and areodynamicly correct unlike having no hood(wind resistance) coef. drag ever heard of it?
For future reference, if you're gonna use big words, please spell them right.
Aerodynamically
Drag Coefficient
the drag coef on a stock appearance CF hood, vs. the stock hood non CF is no different.
anywho, and now for those pics of the 11.5 sec qt mile beast you've been wanting to see.

Dont ya love it?
A vapo LS is like the supercharger on his B series. Gives a healthy (though could be better) performance boost. A CF hood is like disabling themes in windows (dont get technical about how they boost spi performance on conroe please). It's mainly a looks thing and some people prefer it one way and others prefer it the other way. The performance difference would be very difficult to measure. Only difference is, disabling themes is free and a CF hood is costly :lol:Quote:

The car looks nice but the interior looks really cheap :( Full of cheap looking black plastic. Not much different compared to the Chrysler Voyager we had some time ago when our own car was in service.Quote:

Not even the point. What you trying to get at?Quote:

Come on guys, can't ya'll just kiss and make up? Its not that important.
Yeesh, I've gotta listen to all this junk at work because I like Pontiac. But sometimes ya just gotta restrain hehe.
thats what it has to do with and yes it is the same they both boost performance just one smaller than the other. who cares about color. you said has no functionality. it clearly does..... lighter weight dont talk about what you dont know about stick to street cars lol. and what word did i not spell right webster?Quote:

It doesn't say anywhere in motorsport regulations that CF must be painted. So why is it painted? You know there are very extremely fine applications of paint to keep drag down?Quote:

This is really becoming asinine. You know, I don't really care whether I was right or wrong about your stupid analogy. There is one thing that I cannot be wrong about, and that is my opinion that a car with a different colored hood is reminiscent of what people where I come from call hic cars.Quote:
