Oopsy - DO OVER, DO OVER! As a side note, did anyone else find it interesting that once the special key is inserted for really high speed driving the rear wing pretty much gets pushed down and out of the way?

Dale, Yes, I thought the same thing. My guess is that at those high speeds, the wing might push the rear of the car down too far and make for difficult handling. -Original Message- From: Dale [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mar 6, 2007 10:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], 'The Chevelle Mailing List' chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] OT - followup to Worlds Fastest Production Car post Oopsy - DO OVER, DO OVER!

Csaba Casera (sp?) editor of Road Track drove that car to the 253MPH speed and wrote about 6 months ago or so ago. Just read in a recent issue that someone else took the top speed a bit higher. Dale is right about the wing. It extends at a certain speed for stability and then it retracts for decreased drag during top speed runs. Nice bit of engineering.
