Fully Functional Hood Inlets?
OK, here is a new one on me. I just did one of those live chats with a dodge rep in which I asked, "What do they mean by fully functional air inlets for the hood when there is no ductwork conecting them to the intake?". The answer I got back was, "They cool the brakes." HUH? YEP! The rep also added," The inlets are above the breaks so cool air can filter down to cool them." Now I know there is no way that cool air is ever going to reach the brakes from the hood driving forward backward or just standing still. Why they just didn't cover their butts and say something like, they could help let cool air into the engine bay and help exit some engine heat or something to that effect, is beyond me. Most of us who owned one of the original Challengers got rid of the plates from the scoops to do that. Especially if you were running headers. Has anybody else heard any other story about the "FULLY FNUCTIONAL HOOD INLETS"?
