    tigras weigh tons compared to a nova.... that back window affair is about 50kg

    Nova isn't really aerodynamic though is it, even by yesteryear's standards. I'd imagine Specky has saved weight by replacing the rear window with a plastic one.

    what ever he is doing, it seems to be right.

    i wonder if his class allows for ice packing the i/c? that would release some more hp... his fastest time was on a night run at the pod, when the air is much cooler.

    a tigra is better aerodynamic and weight distributed compared to a nova,which shares its aerodynamical characteristics with these........

    Not a hope in hell, he'd spend another 2 seconds spinning up on the line

    i think you'll find he runs on those massive comedy wacky race type wheels up the strip, cos of needing high gearing.. he probably has a set with a few grooves cut in them for class rules.....
