Both of which are antithetical to stability and control on irregular surfaces at high speeds or where any change of direction might occur.
See how sticky this can be?
DIG THIS a link to the CLR going ass over tea-kettle on the mulsanne straight. Keep in mind that the body there was designed by the finest minds Daimler-Benz employs. It still flipped due to a combination of a little turbulence and a relatively gentle bump in the road.....@ 200+
That was no 35 year old passenger car. It was, at the time one of the most advanced race cars on the planet.
Your ref to Pro-mod cars is silly. Have you ever seen one? They are anything but stock bodies. The rake of the hood provides in effect a GIANT air dam forcing the front end down. You ever see one lose a cylinder or two on one bank? When that happens the cars veer hard opposite the lost cylinder because the zoomies provide downforce to the front end. The sail panels on those bodies are pulled in to get more air onto the HUGE spoiler with vertical stabs.
The body on your car lacks all of those features.
Again refrencing the CLR read this:
http://www.mulsannescorner.com/techarticle1.htm and ask yourself if the profile of your car is better or worse in terms of creating lift than a CLR?
