Did you get a replacement Pantera yet slacker? ;-]>
  Juniors decklid kept coming lose so the strategy urban legend of running the Pantera with a decklid unlatched at 200 mph was born....most of us have also used this 'strategy' as well.

unlatched which allowed it to raise up several inches at speed? I think 
this could give you the cooling you desire without giving up the cool
