what you could do that nobody on this post has thought of yet is pull the air from the underside of the car. I have seen pics in some domestic car web sites where they actually reverse the scoop underneath the car so that it pulls air in, kind of the opposite of forced induction.

I can't see any real negatives to the scoop on the upper right. Whether it's "ram air" or not is kinda irrelevant to me. I think it'll flow air better and colder, like I said before, and will be a bit different and potentially cool. Might start something this weekend, but I've gotta change a warped brake rotor first.

Hehehe, I posted that pic about a year ago. It's nice to see it's still floating around. Sorry about the crummy scan job.
Where in the WORLD did you get that??? I am happy to see that because my ram-air will be in the area with the highest pressure. I kinda figured, it doesn't take a genius to know where the highest pressure is on a car. Look at dead bug streaks, when the bug splats and doesn't make a long streak you have highest pressure....
