That car sounds AMAZING !!!! Very cool. thanks for sharing ! My guess is the wing is on the roof because the downforce would be slit between the front/rear of the car. having the spoiler on the rear in many cases lightens up the front end at speed.

That is what Corvettes were made for, going around corners. I don't get why someone would make a Corvette a drag car.

Oh well, to each his own, I guess.

Great post.

Obviously you don't visit the drag racing section of this forum very often do you

Exactly, I have no problem with anything functional on a race car. But only a douche bag would put something like that on a street car. That course looks like it'd be a ball to drive.

Great post.

Because the engine is set WAY back in the chassis from the factory which makes for amazing weight transfer plus the aerodynamics of the C4 are quite impressive.
