Too bad, because that car was a nice ride! I wonder how much acutal choice they had on what to install on the cars come upgrade time..... Lou was saying they had all this power now,and no tires to put it down with, and it showed on the drag race. I wonder if each team just brought a bunch of their own parts, most of what I saw LGM taking off the rack had big LGM stencils on it, and they just bolted it on as they gained points, and not much actual strategy went on. Or maybe the show made the Corvette stick to "stock" tires to try and slow it down and equalize the cars....(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif) On corvette forum Lou said they didn't let him put in the radiator, and some of the other upgrades they just showed them on tv and didn't let them put them on the car as a way to hold the corvette back from dominating.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) I'd bet the LG splitter blocks the air dam and they weren't allowed to do what they need to box the nose to the radiator in. Imagine putting a splitter like that on one of our cars without turning it into a front breather with a ducted air box. I'll bet we'd overheat on lap two as well.
