Interesting. One might deduce that the hood latch either succumbed to air pressure forces or body flex was sufficient to cause the latch alignment to move (or both). Assuming it was air pressure, is the consensus that high pressure in the grill area leaks into the trunk and pushes up or low pressure above the hood lifts the trunk (or both)?

The hood comes unlatched at about 165 mph. Happened on all 3 runs right in front of the viewing stands.
