Have you ever driven a Cobra that does not have a sealed base in the rain? Open the hood and look at the engine/distributor afterwards. The engine will be dry.
Your theory would work if the engine compartment was sealed - but it's open on the bottom and sides.

Have you watched the yarn in this video?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFdkLFvqbZY

The strands clearly indicate the air is flowing IN the hood scoop, not out. Feel free to shoot your own video showing otherwise and post a link to it.
