That car was converted to front wheel drive... that's why the the fronts are wider than the rears.

PS I'm joking... I really have no idea why they did that!

Well, you got me there.

I mean, just look at all these really poorly handling cars: Corvette Z06, Ferrari LaFerrari/458 Speciale/F12 Berlinetta, McLaren P1/650S, every F1 car, etc. If those newbs would just listen to the japanese tuner car scene, they would be way faster. And don't get me started on those hideous IMSA Tudor cars with their ridiculous flared front fenders, crawling around the track like beached whales. God those cars are slow.


Differences of opinion and my sarcasm aside, I do appreciate the help you guys have given me in this thread. Thanks!
