Nice idea but the "huge" gaping holes on the hood brings it way down. 612 hp on a box car like that, would simply smoke the tires. Now an slkamg with a 55 amg engine in it might seem more of a fit. First of all, the hood may be left stock without mods and with that setup, the car would be a real sleeper! I guess overall, it really does'nt matter for as long as the rest of the world drives with a heavy "lead" right foot, oil sheiks could afford to put an apollo rocket in a yugo! Now that some serious hp to weight ratio!

My bad... didnt see that, but come on u would want a SLR engine over the 55. I mean i would be willing to have that opening in the hood just to have the SLR engine.

You'd think with that much capital, you could'nt look for enough change under the car seat for a custom hood! 
I mean a custom hood that looks good!

i guess after all the critiquing we did on the first batch of pics, someone decided to revise the hood cutouts. chk out the original pics of the same hood cutouts:
notice how the originals lacked that black perimeter seal/frame around the edge of the cutouts

Yeah, it seems like they added some rubber tubing/masking around it.
In one of the pics you can even see that the end points of the tubing are situated at the back because one end of the tubing is offset and not completely attached in place.
