You just nulled and voided your own comment with the admission of not having a car with the same firewall. Heat protection is heat protection. I have the BMC and CMC wrapped with reflective shielding, brake lines wrapped and have the heater hoses wrapped along with the heat shield. There are some places that redundant precautions are easy and worth it. I also chose to wrap the heater lines because there is a gap behind/under the back of the heat shield that leaves the heater lines exposed to the downpipe...as well as to keep heat in the heater core lines to reduces underhood temps even if just a little.

By weird things here is an example: My friend wanted a fast car, so he bought a brand new V6 Camaro. Gay.

I did. Although, people do weird things, so I just asked. My car isn't the same as yours so I was just curious. Geeze. Haterade is good and all, but damn.. two sips per day at the most!

Meerly pointing out the obvious was in no way passing judgement neither positive nor negative.
Speaking of vented hood. Yeah, I really like the design of that Scoot hood that recently popped up, or would LOVE a NOPRO hood, but that **** is expensive. Though I'm sure the benefit of sich a hood would go nicely with the GV bumper. The other route is to go with a Ford Taurus fan...4700cfm FTW. But I've never had a heating problem when DD'ing and only a couple of times have I seen temps creep on the track.
With that said.... V6 Mustang>V6 Camaro. I'd rock a V6 'Stang for a daily if I were in such the postition.

At which point was I "hating"? Quit with the bandwagon ******ry words.

The only time I've seen temps rise in my car was when I still had a thermostat in it was in Auto-X. I pegged the red zone once or twice (my attention was elsewhere, unfortunately).
V6 Camaro sucks a festering, diseased vagina. I'd rather rock a Honda Fit. At least it's more practical. And I would totally rock the new V6 TT Mustang that's coming out.

It's cool.
I used to do composite work and could make my own mold for a hood if I had the time and money. I'd have to pull a few strings as well since getting the vacuum pump and bagging supplies would be a PITA and would be easier to borrow some shop time. Luckily pre-preg is much easier to work with over wet-lay.

In this picture from FM's site, you can see the hole I am talking about below the inlet (the one on the right of the two) It's threaded.

FAA regulations section 25.807 (a) paragraph 4 states, with regard to over-wing emergency exits, that these exits shall consist of "a rectangular opening of not less than 19 inches wide by 26 inches high, with corner radii not greater than 6.3 inches"
Now, both the FAA and the airlines impose certain limitations on who may and may not sit in an emergency exit seat. The passenger must be 15 years of age or older, able to lift 50 lbs, able to read, speak and understand English, etc. We can dicker about how strictly these rules are enforced, but the fact is that they exist.
So why is it that there is absolutely no rule at all which says that in order to sit next to the emergency exit, you need to be able to fit through the exit? On yesterday's STL -> PHX leg (US Air flight 287, an Airbus 319) I was sitting in 10C next to a woman who would basically act as a cork should she try to pass through the exit. Seriously, there's just no way she would have ever made it, and as a result, that exit would have become useless the instant she tried to wedge herself through it.

Obese people should be quarantined and forced to train vigorously for months on end until they were normal. If they die then rightfully so for letting themselves get that fat. It's also a ******' pissoff when you have a green light but have to wait for some fat ************ to finish crossing the street. One of my coworkers is like that. He can't sit in his Galant with the seat tilted all the way back without his stomach hitting the steering wheel and folding over it. Last time he mumbled to my boss about his weight the first number was 4 (may not seem like much but he is 5' 1" tall). I mean, that's bullshit. Fat people are nothing but an eye sore. They are too physically unable to be useful. We should just kill them for not having any motivation.

Related note, I still think airlines should charge by the pound for your ticket.

I sat on the emergency rom on one flight and they looked at me and asked me two times if I would feel up to the task if need be.
I do have a passionate distain for fat people. They are a hell of a burden on everyone and it's so sad that the government keeps hiking up the standards to what "fat" is. Clearly there is a problem. I mean, there are more obese people than smokers, yet smokers are taxed more and more and shunned into corners and banned in even reasonable areas from smoking. It's gotten so bad that years ago a "small" meal at your favorite fast-food join netted to a real, small drink. Now today's "small" is like a "large" from 10 years ago. It's completely preventable and only one's motivation can be blamed.
Eventually, America is going to look like everyone on the Axiom from WALL-E.

I know, it's a character fault on my part.

Also, I'm going to make another broad generalization. People in the midwest and the southeast are, as a whole, much fatter, and have much fatter and much less well-mannered children than people in the New England region and in the west and southwest.
