Sweet! Do you know how awesome it feels to see a Woo overtake a Bimmer at the track! BTW are the Woos using staggered tire setup? How does that help?

I wounder if there was anyway to buy that front bumper off them. Ive been putting off making a front airdam/splitter for about 6 months now

If i knew one person willing to help id probably do it right now though.

Yeah id like to know a bit about there wheel/tire setup but couldnt find any info, anyone?

What do you mean track widths?

It appears that the wheels/tires are different from front and back.. some pictures look like the backs are bigger and some the front. One even make it looks like the are bigger diameter wheels on the back.. hard to tell though. Are these cars still FWD?

Also... is the driver on the right side?

i think the wheel size difference is because of camera angle. i see no advantage what-so-ever in changing the diameter of a parasite wheel (non-powered).

yes, they are right-hand-drive... if you notice on the cars, their website is the chevy europe website and all the sponsors are european based as well.

rhd daewoo would be fun in the US

It might be my imagination but it appears that the rear tires are fatter than the fronts. I see that alot on VW Golfs in Eurotuner magazine but I don't understand the benefits of running wider tires on the rear of a front wheel drive vehicle. Has anyone found specs on their tires?

if they are wider... it has to be to combat over-steer

you can see by the airborn shots how stiff the suspension is, i bet the back end slides around a bunch :twisted:

I doubt the back end really slides around enough to actually get bigger tires in the back. On the track in my car i just put a few less PSI in the rear tires and have no problems. But then again i dont have a stiff susp. setup
