this is getting stupid; actually it got stupid a long time ago. What people are saying is: Without his hood he goes faster(supposedly), but that is with his "competition's" hood ON. Depending on the car, a hood can be heavy, but not a HUGE difference. If everybody took their hood off, it would look as stupid as the people with 2 14" blackies up front and huge 19" bling bling in the back
. It looks stupid and it's not going to benefit that much. When you are saying he is at the track to see how fast he can go, I agree with the others; why stop there, yank the doors, trunk lid, and fenders too. It just comes off as not impressive when someone actually starts REMOVING, not replacing, important body panels to go "faster". Like all the gutted Hondas I see at school half of the time. It's a damn street car, not a bucket. What if you have a date and your girl can't open her door to get out because there is no door handle
....not to mention it just looks dirty and embarassing. There is just a point when you have to know what is tactful and practical. But you seem to be defending your friend until the end, so congratulations for getting faster times, but
on how it was achieved.
