before you all plead “function over form” allow me to remind you of this:
I still say that’s complete bullshit. That car had a TON of money dumped into it.

Chris jumped in his tC and broke his own FWD Unlimited Class time trial record of 1.29.34 seconds. Not only did he break the record, but he basically poured gasoline on it, lit a match, and watched it explode when he set the new Willow Springs FWD track record of 1.27.30 – more than a two second improvement! Chris says, “I know the car has another two or three seconds faster in it. With a little more test time over this weekend, I know we could have done it.”
So lets look at this again… in 2008 Chris ran a 1.27 at willow springs in his first (or second I can’t remember) year on road courses. He said the car was good for another 2 or 3 seconds… so now we’re down to 1.24. The car goes away for winter and comes back with wider tires, more power, quicker spool, less weight, and a more experienced driver and the thing gets 2 seconds quicker than that.
Yep, must be due to the front wing.[/QUOTE]
