Message	"To save weight we decided to make extensive use of composite parts. We replaced the hood, doors and rear hatch with fiberglass pieces from Escort." I didn't take the time to research the weights of the two different hoods, but from the article it seems as if this was the deciding factor, so I was hoping someone could shed some light. Otherwise the venting seems like a plausible explanation.
