Question:
What is carbon hood on cars is used for? What is the purpose of it?
Answers:
In practice, however, the answers that say "Because it looks cool" are probably closer to the actual reason most people do it. It's like custom wheels -- the performance reason for using special wheels is that a lighter wheel allows the suspension to work more effectively, which keeps the car planted better in corners and reduces momentum on acceleration and deceleration. (Again, a rule of thumb is that one pound of reduction in wheel/tire weight is comparable to 8 pounds of reduction in total vehicle weight, as far as acceleration goes.) But too often, the wheels people install are actually HEAVIER than the stock rims, which defeats the purpose.

It's worth going back to the reason we use the word "tuning" to describe what we do when we start changing out components on a car. It's like tuning a musical instrument -- you don't make a piano sound better just by sticking a bigger keyboard on it or putting on polished bronze pedals, you make it sound better by tweaking and tightening and making sure all the strings are at the right pitch and the keys all work smoothly. The same idea applies to cars -- it's much more important to make sure the parts are all working together than it is to put on the latest top-rated trick part that some guy at a magazine got paid to write about. (With apologies to my friends at Subiesport and Mazdasport... :-)

has anyone here ever built a hydrobooster for their car?
Many drag racers have used carbon fiber hoods and front ends to reduce weight on their car. More likely though most people just like how it looks and figure it makes their car look like a race car.More Questions & Answers ...
