dude... you are going to tell me the front of my hood is too high? Go look at my pictures.

I closed my hood one cold day after having it open for a while and the side stayed up. Pretty sure the hinge bent.

This is silly. I don't care if you try to justify it with functionality. It looks like ass. If anyone is that concerned with heat, I am sure there are other avenues.. Probably not as necessary as people would like to pretend. Being different isn't cool just for the sake of being different. Gawta crack my hood cause i gots so much heat yo.

Dude... not that I agree with the look... but isn't being different the point of modding our cars? So that we are different? So we don't look like EVERY other car on the road?

Fiat Abarth thought propping the hood was the simplest solution to heat management...yes, it's a race car...but not a very quick one by comparison to a street SS...

exactly!
just because it's an american car doesn't mean all the muscle car divers give you respect. i've NEVER received props from a muscle car driver..ever. this car was basically made to compete against the srt-4 i would think. do you see them rolling in a challenger club?

Not dissaggreeing with you but I have...many times...and not just compliments/admirations/tumbs-up from muscle car owners but truckers, BMWs, Jags and who know who else that I didn't notice on the road...

You know why muscle cars owners never give the sport compact owners respect?????

Its because the sports compact scene is filled with a bunch of punk idiot street racer kids that do nothing other then cause trouble. They don't earn nor deserve respect. Not saying all sport compact owners are like that but in all honesty like a group of older guys is going to respect kids that burn out, do doughnuts street race and put peoples lives at risk.

I was in a club where I was out aged my 15-20 years +. They all showed me respect and they all respected my cars even the measly cobalt when it was stock.
