    Why are the holes in the lf headlight back?

    Not enough air tumbling around under these cars. Too much downforce causes them to be too stuck and have too much grip. cutting holes in the nose helps with that

      also you can use brake duct and deflect air to the radiator, summer time these things will get hot when not lifting

        Removing traction to fix handling is a bad idea.

          i would have to agree, I've always said never take traction away, just make her turn

            Agreed, twas sarcasm. Has to be for cooling reasons. I am no aerodynamicist, but theres no way allowing more air to get trapped under the car can be good.

              Gotta be a balance between handling and cooling. There just isn't much airflow going under these cars with the nose sealed off.

                No argument there. You can't win with no water in the engine.
