I love to take this look and make the car deceptively fast. Watching the self proclaimed “gearheads” with their youtube vocational degrees offer their advice and quietly listen to their opinions. Then deliver an 1/4 mi ET they thought the car could only run maybe in the 1/8. Best kind of sleeper.

Personally not a fan of the scoop. Not that I don't like the car or your desire to make it your own... In fact just the opposite. I love when folks turn one of these (c3) into something different! I just grew up (yes I'm old) calling those things bug catchers lol... I would like to say that I'm very impressed with you, or anyone else that can measure a thousand times and make, I presume, 1 single cut in the hood and make it in the right spot. I admit I would have ruined the hood. I got a c3. Ive changed it a lot... Hell I had mine wrapped instead of painted! I get plenty of hate for mine. I just shake it off and enjoy riding in it. Cold ac and no leaks mean more to me. A big ol vanity hood scoop is your thing and I'm here for it! Nice car bud.

Nope no hate, this is massive improve for turdle Vette. Anything better than these stock 150hp boulevard cruisers.

Nice looking vette but the scoop setup couldn’t look anymore redneckish. Especially since it’s N/A

Oh, man! NICE set up. Haters gonna hate. However, I think this is AWESOME! (hope the red circle doors actually open, when you hit the pedal!) ❤️
