Looks like the Honda has one but the Chevy doesn't to me. Also the rear of the side pods look smaller to me too, although its hard to tell.

The cars were measurable slower as well as visually. They never came close to breaking the 26 sec barrier even when running nose to tail.

AUTO RACING - INDYCAR: 2012 Dallara Improving On Ovals
Oh dear, we've built cars that drivers can't corner flat out with. Wait, why is this bad again?
This is a good point. Why is reaching 2011 oval speeds the desired requirement? Fine if they reach 2011 speeds with a much changed aero/HP package (i.e. low downforce and monster HP to remove pack racing) but if we end up with a high downforce, low HP solution then all we're going to have is the same style of racing on ovals with a car is that is slightly more pleasing on the eye than the previous machine.
I have been wondering the same thing.Quote:

Of coarse reality the sports in the dumper and doesn't have a single block to build on at this point..
Cam you name a better block than speed?
Sure, how about competitive racing. If all we chase is speed, then we get what we have now, namely 100% throttle "racing". I want to see the drivers have to lift in the corners, which requires some differential in cornering speeds and straight line speeds. Which will most likely come at the expense of top speed.Quote:
