I'm glad you said "to me" because it is functional. They never said it was a intake functional hood scoop. It serves they very purpose it was designed to.

Like I have said many times before on this forum, to me a functional hood scoop is one that allows RAM air into the intake for performance and not just for cooling the engine compartment. That being said, it sounds like form an engineering perspective they could never get it to work right on the new Challenger because of air flow issues.
Yes Paladin06, but back in the day when you had a scoop on the car it was for performance and that was the original intent of a scoop and why they existed to begin with.

Yes I am old school and a scoop should be for performance and not just looks only. I do not like fake scoops on a Mustang and so many are. Just a piece of plastic on a hood with no hole in it.

I never said they that Chrysler designed it for any other purpose than for cooling a car. But from the beginning I never agreed with their use of the term "functional scoop".
