Water into the hood scoop?

The IC just sits ontop of the valve cover, and water that enter will just evaporate because of the heat.

I have no clue the physics behind it, but the first night I drove my new car home, it was a huge thunderstorm and after a 20 mile drive when I got into my garage there wasn't a drop to be seen anywhere in the engine bay.

The hood scoop doesn't feed the intake. It only diverts air to the top mount intercooler. The intake gets air from another location in the engine bay.

You're fine with rain, etc going into the scoop. Engine heat will melt/evaporate any moisture.

yeah the hoodscoop on this car isnt meant to intake air like on the older muscle cars, just provides air to flow through the IC.

No worries. It's best to ask and learn than not ask and be scared to drive the car! lol

You'll learn the turbo ways eventually.
