Downforce is downforce man. This guy's ripping it up at the track and probably easily getting into triple digit speeds. Notice the big wing on the back? He's just pushing for maximum downforce (within limits of too much drag) front and rear to keep that thing planted on the track while he's screaming down the front straight at 130 MPH.

Personally I LOVE it. Aerodynamics aside, this car has all the right bits and pieces to make it handle on the track. I bet it's a real monster. I'm especially envious of the wheel/tire combo. I sure could use a setup like that myself for autocross. At my last event I was on the stock 17's and squealed and drifted through most sweeping turns. It was fun, but NOT fast. This car would be wicked fast!!!
