I'm pretty sure it can be said that the A12 Lift-Of-Hood is by far the BEST PERFORMANCE FRESH AIR INTAKE HOOD EVER TO BE PUT ON ANY PRODUCTION CAR IN HISTORY!! (Production meaning more than 500 assembly line built cars by a major manufacture ). The hood scoop design is found on lots and lots of race cars to this day and it is probably the most copied and used scoop design out there..............................BUT as a practical design with not having it hinged well that makes that a PIA.....so it is the lack of hinges that is the biggest negative and the fact that you cannot change from outside fresh air to a protected air source that gives it two thumbs down

The AAR and T/A hoods are great example of the perfect A12 hood.....but who wants an E-body with 3x2's and a small block




Oh and I forgot about the AM radio interference from the lack of shielding by the A12 fiberglass hood that was also a source of complaints by owners...............and once again the AAR's and T/A's got the benefit of the A12 owners doing production testing for all of those little nuisances so they moved the AAR-T/A antennas to the rear.......the perfect A12 hood and antenna location for the hood too
