One more scoop
I'd love to see a roof mounted scoop on the high performance version C-8 ala this

Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
|
Is that for deep water?
|
Would not likely ever see GM go that exotic.
But I agree with you.....the lid air intake is very exotic. Like it very much. |
Hey look, a crutch for an improperly designed intake system/improperly designed cabin ventilation system. (Depends on the car)
My opinion? Rice. |
Looks like an afterthought for a poorly designed intake system.

I know of three people buying one of those who optioned for the $30,000 roof scoop. They say the intake noises are insane due to the scoop being right above your head. It's $30,000 because Mclaren Special operations had to make a new roof of carbon fiber and then redo the entire intake manifold, then test the setup for reliability and functionality. It's more of a throwback to the Mclaren F1 GT than a performance option, but i think it's worth it if you have the money. Resale value on roof scoop mclarens is usually $30,000 more than usual, so the option actually holds value.

That's what I'm gonna do. Tack on a roof scoop, hook up LED lights that rotate between colors and a fog machine. (Fog machine to reduce intake air temperature and add cool smoke effect)
|
If J. C. Whitney built a car, this is what it would look like. Seems like McLaren has found yet another way to extract their customer's money from their wallets. Bless their hearts.

No.
|
NO. Just no.

Would look great with Lambo doors: :crazy:

This is how you do a roof scoop.

Too bad it's hideous.
