05 with hood up

From what I understand the MAF is in that black box.

the first person to make a cold air intake for this thing will make a killin.

Assuming you make power they will definately make money.

Probably not. My understanding is that the car at the show is basically going to be exactly the same as the production model. I don't see what the big deal is though. Black is a neutral color, it doesn't look bad under the hood at all.

I think it looks much worse with bright colors like torch red - it just looks unfinished to me. Seems like it would be easier just to spray the whole thing one color anyways, and cost is always a consideration.

Not necessarily, look how many crap CAIs there are out there that sell.

The battery location is finally where it needs to be. As far from the front tires as possible. My sisters 300z has it in that same place as do many other cars. Less weight over the front end is good.

I don't like the battery Location... besides that looks sweet

Any weight that can be moved toward the center of the car is a good thing.... (damn, I'm taking over Martha's job!)

Those are great pics. It just looks like the engine compartment doesn't have much room for mods. I don't think there is enough room to put a K&N in front of the motor. To help straighten out the intake. Which is kind of a bummer.

That has just as much room as my Firebird RamAir. You don't use a cone filter, you use a flat filter that fits up against the functional hood scoop. Contrary to popular lore, it does make a difference at slow speeds.... but above 85 or so, it really gets eager!!

Looks awesome I can't wait! Thanks for the pix.

whats the hole at the front of the air intake for?

It is missing something... here is another pic:

I am not sure if somebody has posted on this before, but if you look back a couple of posts there is a great picture of a space in the middle of the underside of the hood...almost looks like the perfect place for a functional hood scoop cut out to go...

It's the perfect place for a scoop. But other than cooling the intake cover. It won't be terribly functional.

Looks like it is just itchin' for a nice K&N airbox directly in front of the intake and a RamAir hood directing air right into it. That would be delicious!!!

please dont kill me guys for my ignorance, but since its nearly the 04 mach engine anyways, how about a shaker?

If you make it one of the backwards facing scoops and take it all the way to the cowl it'll work. There's a huge low pressure area right on the bottom of the windsheild.

?

Just my opinion, it looks like ca ca. I think they could have done a better job of routing lines. That plastic looking intake cover throws off the whole look. Just my $0.02.

That engine looks like it was made with a superchargar in mind.

High-pressure area dude...

SWortham · Mar 29, 2004

It could use a hood kinda like this...

A mix between cowl induction and regular forward-facing scoop. And it looks cool.

It's not the 04 Mach 1 engine by a long shot. Different intake, heads, computer, etc.

A new intake design could implement a shaker-style hood, but it would take a lot of engineering work. We're more likely to see something like in the 03/04 Cobra with heat-extraction vents than we are to see a true shaker, unfortunately.

blazinsteed · Mar 30, 2004

i would say it wouldn't be two hard to do a concept style forward mounted scoop. The only reason that place in the hood is there to cover for the extra height of the intake/runners
