Exhaust exiting hood on door slammer?

[Stainless1]

That would be my guess Dan, but what do I know... could it generate down force, to kill lift?

Not for aero.  The builder decided that he wanted to put the turbo up into the air stream and having it up above the motor means the simplest exhaust exit is out the back of the hood scoop.  



It's different and I don't know that you gain anything other than having a really short exhaust and rule change proposals written against you but aren't these differences what make our sport unique?  Plus this falls into the cowl and forward area that can be streamlined for MS.  The builder has said that if he's forced to re-route the exhaust that he'll make it exit out the side of the car or something and will stick faux exhaust pipes coming out the back of the scoop for aero purposes.

Joe,

Do you remember if there was any windshield damage over a period of time on Courtney's Buick? I never looked until this subject came up.

Dan,

See my post #6 on the 1st page in this thread. As I posted then, When I saw the car back at the 1st of October, I did see some distortion on the right side of the windshield. It was not a melted blob, just kind of wavy like you would expect from heat. I'll see if I can get a picture next time I'm at Paul's shop.

Joe,

You always had the best seat in the house! REALLY COOL picture.

Dan,
There wasn't any marks on the window shield. I did have a conversation with Courtney about my safety concerns about the design...not a fan!
