I know DP has rules covering this, but it is realy awkard car. Look half like a Corvette and half like a protoype. So which is it? Corvette or prototype?
It seems unresolved from a styling perspective and very compromise from an Aero racing perspective. Hmm we want to look like a corvette, but we can't cause it will suck aero wise. So we half *** it make part of look like vette and part not.
BTW... the corvette is a street car or production bodied race car. It is not a prototype unless you can go and say "this is the prototype for the C7 Vette". Which I know this not.
In the end what really matter is how it performs on track.

I think it looks like crap. Prototype cars need to be desing by the wind tunnel. They need to have minimum restructions on production body style. After all they are not production cars. They are not sillouette racers that need to conform to a look.

Grand-AM has some of the best racing in America with much larger fields.
Plus, as I said before the Corvette looks great!!
