If cold air is cold air, and ram air is bunk, then why do SN95 Mustang owners upgrade to a shaker-style intake and notice huge gains? The intake manifold stays the same, so the only variable is the inlet gulping in copious amounts of clean, high-speed air.
It's interesting that so many automotive corporations have invested billions in R&D to incorporate inlets, scoops and louvres into their hoods, if ram-air was indeed such a farce. After all, if it was only about "cool" air, companies would have just run a refridgerant line through the intake. To wit, most end up running a line from the radiator, effectively heating the intake charge. So you can't tell me that the desire to suck wind from the front is all in folly.
