Hood came off at the track and went back on at the track. Same as removing spare tire, subs, etc. It dropped his 1/8 mile time by 3/10 of a second. And if that equals 15.2 1/4 mile than that's pretty good, since stock they run 15.4 to 15.7. Why take a contour,etc. to the drag strip? To get fast times. The contour is no drag car by any means. It's like saying why add a turbo to a contour. Since no FWD street car will be a real drag car.
Why do people buy different intakes for their contours, on a duratec, a different intake wouldn't drop your 1/8 mile time by 3/10 of a second.
