Roof scoops create downforce to keep the car on the road.

For race car.

An additional blender for squirrels, raccoon, various small critters and children, assuming you have a hood scoop as well.

They're about as useful as a rear spoiler on a FWD car.

I might get some bro, I'll let you know if it works.

On my car the hood scoop is for cooling the intercooler, not the engine.

On proper rally cars, the roof scoop provides fresh air for the people inside.

i know that most subaru are like that thats why i said engine component which means radiators or intercoolers.....

but roof scoop. how does one control airflow???

also ive seen some roof scoop for mid/rear engine cars that are intake scoops

Driver Comfort
The large roof scoops used on world rally cars and race cars are usually there to provide fresh air for the driver. After all, most race cars use plastic windows sealed against the doors, and air conditioning isn't an option. Race cars often lack the sort of floor and firewall insulation that keep engine heat out of most other types of cars.

Dynamic Considerations
The only other reasons for a roof scoop are to cool rear-mounted heat exchangers (radiators) or to provide intake air for a rear or mid-mounted engine. In almost every case, a large NACA duct will provide more than sufficient airflow without increasing drag, raising the boundary air thickness or causing turbulent airflow.

For some mid-engine vehicles with force induction, the hood scoop provides cooling for their intercooler.

I see a lot of potatoe heads here,
In most cases they help to keep the rear window
cleaner while driving in rain and snow conditions...

no roof scoop, no lg.

The hood scoop catches all the LGs so you got fresh LGs at all times.

[QUOTE]If you've ever wondered what those air scoops on the roofs of rally cars are for, this clip of Russian driver Evgeny Novikov having a massive crash in last weekend's WRC Rally Mexico should help you understand.
On an extremely long 30-mile stage on the last day of the rally, Novikov went offroad and somehow tore the roof scoop off his Fiesta RS rally car. What the scoop is supposed to do is raise the air pressure inside the cabin, keeping the dust out while still allowing warm air to come out. When it goes away, dust pours into the car, visibility drops to nil, and Novikov has a seriously huge crash.[/QUOTE]
