Your friend definately should not own a Vette, with questions like that.
Perhaps a Gremlin or Pacer.
Speaking of AMC Pacers....Once saw personalized plate "WAIT4ME" on one..............Too funny!!!!

The easy answer is: "Because Nouman makes them that way"

Ha ha. It doesn't have an airdam. It was removed right after these pictures were taken.

I'm sure there are threads about it elsewhere, but does that affect cooling dramatically on a more or less stock car?

No. I just cut holes in the fog light shrouds. Funnels air right to the Blackwing (or factory airbox, if that's what you have).
