| I have seen hoods like this on stock cars. And on race cars as well. You should see Escort Z who is a 300ZX racing team hood itself ask them for pics. Also you ever looked at the Austin Martin Vanquish notice were its vents are at on the hood.
As far as my widebody wants for traction there is no other option besides changing the dynamics of the rear suspension to have it hook up in a straight line to produce more traction. More traction more rubber more traction. If you are going go into a tangent that flares are going to cause you have more drag show me at what speeds you think this going to make a difference.
Oh yes I can change the rear end to solid axle and etc but I do like making turns and don't want to build a drag only car. Bottom line with out trying to be rude is your are not aerodynamics engineer and neither am I and don't have access to that proper equipment to test and until one of us car it will still be educated guess at best. Oh and after stage III any mods are of minimal gain and value so I not sure why you commented on that. Also if I thought bigger was better I would have gone with the .87 A/R turbine housings instead of .61 A/R. Everything has balance and somethings will work better than others. And so you have have a sore note in your conversation these are the types of discussions needed to make progress. And because your strong arguements I am going to take some steps to better research that kind of hood and send a picture of the hood to a friend of mine who has knows some aerospace engineers who work with NASA and question a couple race teams. I will post what I hear back and I don't mind admitting I am wrong.
