Funny you mention that. Not only was my experience positive, but I think affirmed this past weekend. I took my LS1/M3 on track at Jefferson and the hood kept popping open (caught by safety lock). When in the paddock, to get it to pop I would have to at least put 40-50lbs of lifting force.
So I know even at only 100mph there is at least 40-50lbs acting upwards on a stock hood. I imagine much more at 120-130mph. now to go clean out the stock hood latch and regrease it so it stops popping at 90-100mph.
