Default Re: supercar cowl induction tid bit..

Yes, it's the cool air that makes ram air setups effective, not any sort of ramming effect. But marketing is a great thing, and when you see the words "ram air", people assume it's ramming air, but they don't.

Sort of like when people go to cruise nights, but everyone parks. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

For NASCAR or other forms of racing with sustained high speeds, a ram effect can actually be achieved, and additional power can be had. But not with a street car, or with any of the factory setups.
