Ooof! Way to kill the genre.

Okay, let's see... there's airflow tattle-tails, they're pointing to the left so we're looking at the rear of a car, probably from underneath. Definitely going to be a road race car, probably full body, looking at some kind of diffuser. For some reason I'm thinking related to a stock car / NASCAR somehow...

If nothing else, the roofline of the car in the background says your in a NASCAR garage. Anybody have any shots of the COT rear?

NASCAR Truck Series Truck?

We had one on display at work today. Didn't have that diffuser, but the tubing ahead of it looks awfully familiar.

They beat me to it, i was going to say NASCAR sprint cup or COT, or, judging by the location of the fuel cell mounting, could be an older GT1 or Trans Am car since their aero rules aren't as restrictive.

All of the cot stuff I can find has a square back to the fuel cell. In fact all of the NASCAR stuff I can find has a distinct lack of aero behind the fuel cell. I'm leaning toward a GT1 car now but holy cow is it hard to find pictures of the under car aero on those. It's like people want to keep things secret or something.

Looks like an older IMSA Car. Maybe a Daytona Prototype? I'm gonna say Corvette GT1. PM me with that job offer.

Might as well show a picture of a lug nut and gloat about it when people can't guess.

I might as well go out on a limb. Could be winter testing of an NHRA pro stocker, or maybe even a Trophy Truck running BAJA.. Could be the next prototype for the Batmobile for all I know..

Need a hint, yo. Seeing some aero stuffs on the rear of a pan of a car is a little vague.

ARCA car? One of the road-racing cars that's a rebodied NASCAR ala the new Camaro, etc? K&N West car?

DING, DING, DING!

We have a wining guess. It is an ARCA car. Way more advanced then you would think, yes?

Well, it's kind of hard to really get a good feel for the tech when all we have is a piece of aluminum and a bunch of yarn. Show us more pictures of it please?
