I'm still unsure how tilting the rad forward reduces lift.

btw, the Vette is rated at 17/30 mpg...
Yea those sharp rear fenders :/

They say the intake and vent is for transmission and something else cooling, just looking at it I feel like the sharp edge along with the awkward angle is killing its potential. Well, at least they didn't pull a Dodge Viper and try to use that air for brake cooling.
