Moar like the BBC, amirite?

 

Just twin turbo a supercharged engine!

 

I don't know/care what you own....I was just asking about a Caddy V Coupe hood. Only because J has purchased a Caddy I actually have an interest in, I am interested in learning more about them. Don't necessarily have alot of time to research every detail about every car on this Forum, or who owns what, so, thought I would ask, and even preface my question with my lack of knowledge on the subject, hence, "perhaps a foolish question....".

If that hood that I posted was an aftermarket hood, cool......pretty sure being on a car forum means learning from the knowledgeable members about various cars on the forum.

 

And now you're learning.

I'm learning about members.....everything else, I already knew.

It's cool....not my first Forum, but this forum certainly maintains a certain 'breed' of special individuals on here.......moreso lately......

 

Wow lack of humility much..?

A lot of those around here recently too...

 

IOW..

I'm pretty sure most people would guess that hood is HELLA aftermarket. For you edumacation, many make vented hoods for the V. Most popular is D3, but there are several others, even carbon fiber hoods which is fucking asinine because the V hood is like 5 lbs.

 

I also love the.. I don't have time to research



Yeah, I'm sure that goes off well on other forums too..

 

I just posted a sedan with that same hood didn't I??

 

Is the coupe hood the same as the wagon?


I don't like your attitude and besides I meant this other thing that I didn't really say the first time. Oh, and here's some attitude back. I only want to hear from people that know.


I don't care what you know, I just want to learn stuff.


I'll now claim I already knew all that stuff even though I asked about it because I said I didn't know about that stuff.


...

 

Your MPD is showing cul0

 

Looks down at hangdown

 

Don't judge me. It's casual Friday.

 

lol......all I asked was about a hood that I didn't know wasn't an OEM hood.......if we really want to summarize. I'm at work, hence why I am not on here much to participate.....sorry, should have included a full itinerary of my day, I guess?

Didn't post with attitude, got responded to with attitude, responded to the attitude.

Simple response would have been, it's an aftermarket hood. could have moved on from all this a LONG time ago....however....keep dragging it out if you need to.

Jeremy......sorry, Bro...not trying to jack up your thread like.......oh yeah......the same person who jacked up your thread before........coincidence??

 

Not that casual! Put your pants back on!

 

Don't shame us.. it's hangdown Friday and we're going to hangdown

 

All good D...I don't own internet brands so I don't actually own any of these threads (maybe not even posts).
I enjoy the fun banter!

Any other questions, feel free bro...I'll answer what I know, I'm still learning myself. Be glad to share the dos and don'ts of searching for one from someone that has recently experienced it, if you're serious!

I have to agree though, that hood was pretty insane and not oem...I KINDA like this one hood that's bumped up another inch from factory (assuming for clearance for a bigger SC or something) but it just looks like a meaner oem one.

 

What attitude.. you're projecting, and it's not that big.

 

18 would be nice out of our Flex, but my wife does mostly city. And now, a lot of idling in the school run line. 12mpg

 

J, don't cut your hood.

 

HERE is the answer to my question.

I remembered it being a Coupe(I didn't check this post again before I asked my question)......now I know.

I assumed the sedan/coupe/wagon hoods are all the same size/fitment....I guess it does work.

Thanks, Majofo.

 

I don't mean to be a dick, but it's hard to take a guy seriously who's posted 400 times in 10 years.

derek may have been on here before majofo, but shit, if you don't know who majofo is and you think he's a new member, shiiiiet...

 

Let's let it go, I wasn't referring to him as a new member...if that is the message that got inferred, nvmd.

Best to move on, now.

 

lmao...don't use the "move on" line! It's bad luck!

 

It's not even a thing.. I'm a big boy, below the waist

 

 

MOVE ON!

Said no one ever.

 

 

Actually, cutting the hood doesn't seem like a bad idea. Keep that engine cooler, keep that supacharja cooler, and plus, show off that corvette engine





...until J comes back to his car one day and realizes the engine is missing

 

 

I got a Boosted General to be like J. I got it in white because we compliment each other and complete each other.

 

Its the same thing with the 370z. The OEM hood is aluminum and light as fuck. Fools be spending a shit ton of money for carbon fiber, which weighs the same, or more. Unless dry carbon. But the you're paying 1500 to save 4 pounds. Asinine is right.

 

On the ZR1 (same platform), the hood is clear so you can see the engine.
Except there's nothing to fucking see since the lid of the charger is plain AF

A lot of V guys buy the ZL1 charger (also same platform) lid because it has a slightly larger cooler..
but for the most part it's eye candy. It's funny because the lid to the V is more expensive.

ZL1 lid


ZR1 hood

 

3G TL carbon fiber hood is like 4 lbs saving..

 

yeah but you know we have a member that shaved tires to get the rotation radial pythagorean theorem weighted average of thermal dynamics for mass weight down...
i mean, naw mean?

I was over on bforbrianne6speed's thread and OMG the effort and attention he's putting into putting perfect holes in all his structural elements to save grams is insane. I can appreciate the dedication but it's still coocoo to me.

and Tim is the man...I still think he's nuts.

 

a derp is going to derp

 

I just checked out that maroons youtube, he cut his hood.

 

i never got my hood cut....Jew know what i mean?

 

which? b4b6speed?

 

Holy smokes just saw the hole cutting..
Looks like he was trying to cut the right one for his penis to fit..
Nope, nope, nope.. fakkKK.. need smaller bit.
