According to Iain Ayre, KCB contributor, "There's no purpose for a hood scoop in an injected car. It just creates drag, slows you down and jams more static air into the hot engine bay. My Ayrspeed EcoCobra's reverse scoop uses the low pressure area in front of the windshield to suck hot air out of the engine bay, important for this car that has a 225bhp turbocharged Miata engine. It also has 320bhp per ton, about twice that of an ordinary Cobra replica with a 302 Ford V8. I'm looking forward to finishing it."

I didn't know that something like that can affect a car so much. I really like of engineering that you have to value all those thing to make the car more efficient or faster.
