how exactly do you plan to cut through the air efficiently with no hood?

onelasttry is right: removing the hood will make the car less aerodynamic. Maybe removing the trunk will help.

removing the trunk is worse, unless covered withan aerodynamic cloth
Thats a big pocket, baseball glove, parachute, etc.

I would say, first off - are you comfortable on a track? Launching Techniques down? These things are important, so, if you never tracked before, do not expect the best until you find your best dialed-in combo and launch technique. Let us know what you find.

Aren't you the one that was racing a Honda and ran away from a cop chasing you?

Well, I'm glad your considering the track and keeping it off the streets...Legendary is absolutely right, you have to know how to launch on the track and the other basics involved...Without those basics, you won't run the car to it's highest potential..
