Cool!
Can't wait to see it in show rooms! You mentioned the Viper SRT-10 Coupe was designed with downforce in mind, tell me, does any of that translate to a lower drag coefficient? Just courious. You also mentioned the downforce in relation to better speed stability, does any of that increase the overall speed in any way? Like I said before, I'm just courious. I am not a stream lining expert, but I thought I would ask.

Chrysler/dodge dude:
Aerodynamically, the DodgeViper SRT-10 slices through the wind like a hot knife through butter.
The downforce in the Viper SRT-10 is the force of the air pushing down on the rear of the vehicle, thereby keeping your wheels on the road at higher speeds giving more control and stability. This doesn’t translate into higher speeds but it gives you more control while going at higher speeds.
Hope this explains it for you.
Thanks again,
Kris B.
