lol. its deff a street car..(summer and sunny days only). i do go to the track too. no hood, well b.c with the 2.4 swap, (its in an avenger mind you) the hood simply doesn't fit correctly. it hits the timing belt. i may mod it later to fit, but its not on my radar , as i want to get up and running and tuned..benefit? none, besides wtf looks and my bay temps are down ; ) lol
