I'm not making broad statement about all louvered hoods, Carl, just that air
flow through and over a car is more complicated and individualized than one
would think.   The MGA is just an example of an interesting local flow
situation.  Why did the BMC Competitions people opt for fender side vents on
their highly stressed rally cars instead of louvered bonnets ? No doubt there
was a flypress available in the shop to louver the hell out of anything.
