spoiler v2 cont.

I should explain that plate comment. C3 Corvettes have terrible nose lift at high speeds (they also have big problems with aero with the vertical rear window - the air actually goes backwards as it tumbles off the targa). If you look closely at any of the race C3s from the day, you'll see a number of solutions to 'fix' the problem.... but the worst part is that air making a change from horizontal to vertical - it literally lifts on the bottom of the hood... not optimal. This is why people delete the front license plate or even put the 80/81 nose on their older car.... for completeness, the tumble issue is why most racers used convertibles - no sail panels, no tumble....
