ok....I have a question. I was thinking since our cars are front wheel drive does it matter to take all the wight off of the hood? Yea...you would weigh less but would it really matter the amount of wheel traction you would loose? I don't think you would loose any wheel traction but it was a thought. I figure the engine would be enough and also....do you guys with CF hoods notice a difference?? Thanks!

Lossing weight_ your engine performs the same but it's lesser weight the motor has to move=more speed. 20-30pounds you will never feel, 300 pounds-yes.
