Random idea but possibly could work!

I had this random idea about making a ram air effect for the AC system on my camaro. Running it into where the air enters the vent from either under the car somewhere or under the hood inside the body of the car like most air intake systems are routed. i colud also drill a hole into the firewall and run a duct from under the car that runs into the other air ducts that direct the air flow from the AC inside the car's dash. it should help pull cooler air to the system causing lower temps. the only problem is that you might only notice a difference at high speeds or on long trips. i know it's crazy but it could work, especially in the summer if your car is painted black like mine. i just wanted to let everyone know so they could put in some info.

If you pull in outside air like that, it'll really reduce the effectiveness of the A/C system. If you're just talking about the duct work, I suppose it could work as long as your windows are down some so the pressure can't equalize. Also keep in mind though, any dust, dirt, water, or crap that could normally get into your ramair will be getting passed through your ductwork into the cabin.

You could always go ******* and just pop the hatch off and drive that way
