      I've always liked reverse opening hoods (vette). However, on the majority of muscle cars I see around, it would be a complete pain in the ass to get any type of work done on the engine with a hood that opens like that.

      Not to mention the amount of weight that the system likely adds. I think it would be something cool to look at when at a car show, but I want to be able to go to the track and make quick adjustments without having to work around a dang hood. Give me a lightweight glass lift-off and I'm set!

      Cool to look at on someone elses car.. too much $$ and like you said, hard to work on the car (it would seem)..

      I do like that hood opens backwards though.. I always have an un-natural fear of my hood opening at speed.. hey, it happend to Chicanye.. They should sell a manual system for low bucks..
