Today I learned that most people dont understand the true top-down lifestyle.

While sitting at a light with the top down, I had a comment from a guy in a big dodge today "Feeling pretty optimistic, arent you?" (it's cloudy and predicted to thunderstorm today).

"I can always put it back up if I *have* to"

Actually, they are individual throttle bodys, i.e. ITB's.

Its one of the poison's people choose to get more power w/o going to the dark side. From what I understand, its a pride thing.

ITB's (Individual Throttle Bodies) are on the intake side of the motor, so air is going into them not out, so no melting hood. LOL

Pulling the air strait from the engine bay? That cant be good, That hood area on the S2K gets hotter then any other car I have owned.
