I like (cough) how they blocked off all the heat vents on the decklid. That thing must run HOT! |

Very nice, having the wind shield slopped more like the choptops, that would really look so much sexier and easy to do on a roadster ???

Here, we'll still be able to see the car after the ad is pulled...
Yeah, you wonder with the grills covered how the engine compartment cools down.

It cools down thanks to magic, willpower and that shiny metal stuff. lol ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

Yes, the decklid is insulated with "shiny metal stuff" so that the trapped hot air doesn't melt it or catch it on fire!

And then there's this one http://detroit.craigslist.org/ctd/923868349.html - Here which is stretched and widened with a 350 and a 5-speed manual under the decklid...
Apparently it's been up for sale previously with an asking price of under two grand.

| i think the roadster would look cool with a forward facing vent that would scoop air right into the engine bay. |

It might look cool, but I don't think I'd want a vent (or scoop) so close to the back of my head. Remember, no rear window! Might be rather noisy. However... How about facing two scoops (on top of those new humps located where the usual grills were) towards the back of the car? That would allow air to escape as it was originally intended, and it wouldn't/shouldn't be all that noisy. Anyway, I'd MUCH rather have the yellow Fiero I linked to.

Forward facing scoop would be cool, until the first time person wore a hat in the car and it got sucked into a vent at high speeds. Rear facing scoops as Patrick suggests would work much better, extend the scoops out rearward flush with the back of the car, use the natural vacuum at the rear of the car to suck the hot air out of the engine bay. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |
