I hate it when I have to agree with Kevin Stevens... :-) There's no
"comfort and convenience" component, and since the Commemorative Edition comes
with
the hood already painted LeMans blue, I don't see the "appearance" aspect. In
addition, Section 13.1 prohibits illegal modifications, even if set to factory
specs... Let's face it, the guy wants to do it to take weight off the car.
He has to decide whether he wants to look cool with the hood up at the local
Corvette Club meeting, or whether he wants to autocross in SS. ASP is always
an option...
