Use of carbon fiber everwhere, gut the back seat and exhaust, fill interior cabin and tires with helium, lighter wheels and remember this stainless steel beauty doesn't have all of those heavy stripes and decals so that may get the weight out. 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds so that gets you almost 3,000 pounds for this monster. Seriously, the weight question is a good one.

So what kind of cat back exhaust do you think this car has? I haven't seen anyone have the exhaust come out the sides.

I also like that oil slick dispenser that they have popped out the back. As long as they can get out in front early, that will help ensure that the extra weight does not matter.

And yes, I am joking.

The sunroof has shown to be greatly more aero than the reverse Mohawk at speeds over 350MPH. That is why I wanted a sunroof on my ZL1!

I would just like to see this for real, not a computer rendering. That's not an actual prototype, but an artist's rendition.

Hopefully they have one for actual display (and racing) soon.

I too love that exhaust. I've always wanted to do that to mine but right in front of the rear tire.

It almost looks like a 1:18 scale model. something definitly does not look right scale wise. Other than that the car does look bad ass, wing is a little much but i understand why its there.
