And ditch the pop-up headights for a strip of LEDs just before the front edge of the hood.
*The Daytona rake was analyzed and what they settled on was optimized for their target performance.Passenger cars had to be like the race car for homologation purposes,or otherwise they would have never been allowed to race it. (Tail wagging the dog).
*The air under the car might not be suitable for a wing.And it would have to be much larger because of it in order to create the same amount of force.That's why it was placed so high in the airstream.To minimize drag.
NOTE: Chrysler DID want to place the spoiler directly over the rear axle,but they considered that a non-starter.
