A little too "Bad Azz" for me. You've got to have a 415 to justify that big a bulge in your pants.....sorry, hood.
My two favorite C4 hoods are:
The "Active Suspension" hood from Corvette Engineering. A slight rise in the front which fades into a normal rise in the rear, with air vents in the rear corners. See demo here:

Good for two reasons - It lets some of that LT5 heat flow out better, and the sleight rise at the front keeps the engine from hitting the inside of the hood, as mine does with the phenolic spacers under the plenum.
This would have been the perfect hood to include in the ZR-1 package. More clearance, and a great styling cue to indicate that this car 'aint no ordinary C4.
It is unfortunately unavailable.
The other one is the gorgeous "LeMans" hood from Callaway. A Paul Deutchman design.
