Default funny hood scoop
not a C5, but I saw this when I went to corpus to be on the lexington carrier. Thought you would get a kick out of it. He put stick on hood scoops on the hood and roof and the car also has a big wing on the back.

The fronts are aired down for MAXIMUM FWD TRACTION!!! That guy is a serious drag racer... the scoops are proof that they feed his roof mounted turbos.

That's almost as cheesy as the folks with fake Z06 stick on brake ducts! What next, Z06 badges on your fender wells or plastic hub caps that spin?

You all wanna leave my daily driver alone?

It's about 10 miles away from a sidewall blowout in the front. I guess air is hard to come by out there.

I should have taken the pic a little farther back so you can see the big wing on it. I bet it was stick on also
