Saw that vid earlier this morning. First thing I thought of was that he should have put that wing on the hood.

Needs vents in the front fenders.

The newer cars are too tight in the front and can't displace the air at that speed. When they lift in the front, they act like wings.

I watched that a few times because everyone in that video and the camera man acted so perfectly. It looked like one of those found footage movies.

the cars aerodynamics looked much more setup for a road racing course TBH. Not i'm sure the suspension was set for drag racing as the weight transfer looked almost perfect.

Yep that bitch hooked, it just caught to much air under the nose and went over, used to happen a lot on TF cars hence the little wings in front of the tires, but they still go over on occasion
