What exactly is that on the rear of this car?
It looks like two jet engines!
It's fast, but not that fast.
If that is the exhaust, it's the weirdest one I've ever seen.
Of course, that car is weird all together with it's perfect flat sides and skirts over the rear wheels.
It sure goes like stink though!
The fact that it qualifies for the US Muscle Car Championship is hilarious. Talking about spanking the field. My B-Spec driver lapped the entire field in a 6 lap race!

I hate this car in the Historic Cup Race... always the one to beat.
 
It's a more primitive, '70 version of the Redbull X1 (just a comparison, they have nothing to do with each other). Those thing in the back are fan, used to draw air from underneath the car to increase downforce.

Wow! The X1 seemed revolutionary until you find out the technology is 40 years old!
 
Those are two fans driven by a snowmobile engine. The purpose of the fans was to 'suck' air from under the car to provide downforce. Fantastic car that was banned from CANAM!
 
used to spit rocks and dirt at the competition behind it. God I love that car, and I'd love to get a hold of it if you're willing to trade.
 
I seen that car only once in the used dealership. Was a little over 16,000,000cr.

So the fan works like Brabham BT46B? :confused:
