She's 18. She's the one who's done junior dragsters, can you believe that! Way to represent Subaru!

Why does it look like the hood scoop is on backwards in the Easy Street car behind the babe?

I was "too tired" to continue working if it comes up next week.

I "felt guilty" about staying on the clock when I wasn't doing any work.

Because it is on backwards. I can't remember the significance of it, but I think they flipped it around after some record or major time. Anyone remember?

Because it is. I don't know for certain, but they probably have a front mount, and the reversed hoodscoop is to exhaust hot air.

Air-water IC.

A reverse scoop still sucks in air. :wink:

I was going to say that, but with as huge as it is, it may actually force the airstream up and over the windshield, and generate some small amount of vacuum.

If the air from the front is specifically routed out the reverse scoop, there's no cowl-induction taking place.

What the hell is that Scott? That's certainly not the ESX car (at least not done) and that vent is clearly not going to the hood scoop.

Kevin M · 2004-11-06, 11:41 PM

Rally car with V-mount and hood vent.

That's the WRC car, the Front/Top mount IC has an extractor vent on the front of the hood. The hoodscoop on the WRC car is just for product recognition... i.e. it's just there so it looks like the production car.

Yet it doesn't prove your point because it has nothing to do with a reverse scoop?

Dean · 2004-11-07, 12:09 AM

The pressure just back from the leading edge of the hood should be close to ambient, and fairly easy to overcome with the RAM air from the front, but the area in front of the windshield is a very high pressure area and not so easy to overcome.

IMHO, only if that huge reverse scoop is moving that high pressure area in front of it instead of the windshield and actually producing fairly smooth flow up and over the windshield/roof would you have a lower pressure zone behind the scoop. You still have all the pressure from the air hitting the remainder of the windshield wanting to escape into that low pressure area if it exists to overcome as well before you actualy get vacuum from inside the engine bay.

Oh No, I think JC and I may be agreeing again.. :shock:

A nice thread about women driving fast, and now we are stuck in a boring tech discussion. What a bunch of losers we are...

If you guys didn't have debates this site would be boring to read.

I can end this real fast.

1) I'm an Aerospace Engineer
2) I've turned my scoop around and tested the flow direction to prove someone else wrong.

To get back on track, the girl from the Mopar drag booth. Somehow I don't think she drives it?

Dean · 2004-11-07, 11:03 AM

Talk about hood scoops and generating lift!! Thanks JC.

JC · 2004-11-12, 03:28 PM

A couple more...

Scott, you are sponsored by ESX, you need to hook that up.
