Re: Hoonigans with a Crossfire
Did you notice that at the very beginning of the video they call it a Chevy Crossfire?....uggh. If Chevy made the Crossfire this forum would not exist because there would be none left running.
The reason there is not a significant difference in time around the track is because the time is limited by the track and not the drag on the car. The car just had to produce more horsepower as they deployed more chutes to create the nearly equivalent times. Were the engine's horsepower maxed out at the first time around, it would have been a different story with increasing lap times.
Next time try it with a Prius and there will be significant lap time differences.
