It's a 1/4mile car, that reaches +-170mph trap speed.
On street tires? Elapsed time? 60-foot time? Sanctioning body? Front wheel drive? Whatcha got under the hood?

I've liked the Saveiro since cRiPpLe_rOoStEr introduced it to us here. But here is a Caddy that IIRC did 140mph quarters. Would you face off against it on your street tires?




Here is how you get downforce without drag. How you apply it to your situation; I don't know. This has 10% less drag than a flat bottom and rear by CDF analysis, done by a member here. The downforce wasn't reported.



It is like having a rake, without the downside.
