Think Chuck Berry had something to say about that as well.

Replace all possible parts with carbon fiber, reduce weight whatever way possible.

Add rear flip out turbo prop tied into powertrain

Add fold out wings right above the underbelly plates between the wheels, below the doors. Replace hazard light switch with wing deployment switch.

Wings and turbo prop stay internal until deployed. Car drives and appears normal.

Aerodynamics worked out by a geek and proper deployable control surfaces deploy along with wings.

AM I CRAZY? THE C6 WAS DESIGNED AFTER THE F-22.....I don't know about you but I hate traffic.
Welllll, sure...allrighty then. Let us know when you get the prototype put together!
