I think the name of the team "Team T/A" says it all.

I don't think so, if it were it would flip over backwards with that, that, that, whatever it is.

Does that sign on the building in the background say "BF Goodrich"?

Maybe a tire testing vehicle for future NASCAR COT phase ll.

What's the odds that the the back plate hinges down at high speed.

The paint on the quarterpanel looks good. Redeeming feature!

I agree its a bit obtrusive looking, but this is a race car, not a pampered garage queen. The owner has it on there for a reason...maybe, he will see this post and explain the theory behind it.


Stay in tune...

I guess he probably has a reason, and I know I'm not the sharpest stick on the play ground, but a simple understanding of areodynamics says get as much out of the air as possible except to get the needed amount of down force where you want it. If that rule is in place here he mus have a tank under the hood.

At least it's not as ugly as other Vettes I've seen. Plus, it's an easier fix to make it look good again.

While the wing clearly looks stupid, the C4 wheels actually add something.
