A oval creates to much friction to reach a high speed.
On the other a oval speed run would be cool

All i have to say, this car is fukin impressive! Like the looks as well.

The only flaw i noticed so far is the Cd ~ 0.357? Isn't that great. Why wouldn't they make it lower? That'd helped by alot at such speeds. Nonetheless, amazing project! I'm really interested to see it's best shot at reaching top possible speed and a couple of hot laps on the 'ring!

Oh, i just found out it was mentioned in the Top Gear news where Clarkson bashed it his usual anti-american way!

Here, in case someone missed:

That is some good publicty for scc
And they should let make jc eat his cubic hair if the ride of the aero is as good as the veyron.
I think the aero pack is just about perfect for the car no need for lower the cd figure.

OkIt looks way better than the stupid Veyron,is faster,less expensive,the V8 sounds better,do you think that a bad engineered car will hit 256 mph, and thats without the stupid V16 with 4 turbos with a VW shape,and why are you hating,is a small company but look at the numbers 0-60 mph:2.78 seconds1/4 Mile:9.90 seconds at 144 mphTop Speed:257.41 MPH / Official Average: 256.15 MPHSkidpad:1.05 g0-100mph-0:11.6660mph-0 (braking):103 feet

The drag coefficient is 0.357??? That seems really high when compared to many less sleek looking cars. Then again, I think many manufacturers nowadays aren't particularily honest about the CD as it's not something that is easily tested like 0-60 times.
