F430 are mid-engine. How come it has all those vents in the front?
People like keeping the front wheels on the ground.

I forget the name of that type of opening but it's super efficient.

Naca duct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_duct

Thanks for the pics of the yellow cars. I didn't realize JUST how much flair they had on the rear fenders.

It also seems they are using styling cues from the ZR-1.

I'd go so far as to say perhaps the ALMS cars influenced the ZR-1

I don't think so. The cues to which I refer are cosmetic at best.
