Thanks man, I need to vent my TII hood vitriol every once and awhile!

Hell, I think a T2 hood on a T2 is rice... FMIC the only way to fly if you are going Turbo

C'mon now, you gotta be kidding me. Joke question, right?

If you put a Turbo II drivetrain with a TMIC on, then swap the hood, are you still NA?

Um...no.

You'd be turbo! You've earned your Turbo Hood, because...I know this is difficult for some of you guys...you have a turbo!
Yea I was just kidding....calm down tiger..

Sorry man, I just get all heated with people saying, "Well, what about the tailights? What about the mirrors?" It's so obvious with the hood...

Anyways, my real message for you is:

Go back to the Light! Turn away from your path of Darkness to the Turbo side! You'll regret it!!

Someday I will go back to N/A...for now whike Im on a "budget" it is the T2 for me. My dream is a N/A 3-rotor FD, and if all goes will Id like to start working towards that within the next few years FD beauty, while still remaining N/A reliability and predicability, but 300+ HP to go along with it..

No weight benefit? My stock vert hood is at least 3 times as heavy as the nice, light, cool, ricey TII jammy that's on it right now.

Then it was not the stock hood.

The 'verts come with a stock aluminum hood that is lighter than the aluminum T2 hood.

and the difference between a Alum hood and a Steel hood is only 20 lbs.

to me rice means something **** and cheap that looks **** and cheap to anyone but the person driving the car... so i spose i can never count a TII hood as ricey
but i will... it really doesnt look better (imo) and it really doesnt do much... its a cheap/lazy mans lightweight hood
anywayz thats just my opinion

Since this thread is a year and half old, and the poll is pretty much split right down the middle, I think its time the post whoreing ended (as the thread should also now do).
