This man is correct, you cannot put a diffuser on a quad cam powered car.

Speed holes is one of the stupidest things you can do to your car.

Even if you have a 9second car, common logic would tell you it would be better to make a complete underbody diffuser, rather than place dickholes in your bumper.

It is the riceboys' newest treat, that's what speed holes are.

Look up information on hyper-miling. Some of the things they do, like installing body pans, covers over wheel wells, smooth wheel covers, etc could be implemented for us also. As goofy looking as they are, they would actually accomplish something.

But that would look tacky, and probably have the cops pull you over for some BS reason like not having a bumper...

For AutoX or something, sure, but not on the street.

youll still get pulled over for those speed holes.. if anything if you get pulled over by taking off your bumper, you can at least say that someone hit you from behind yesterday so you took it off and the bumper was hanging off..
but what are you going to say when a police officer pulls you over for speed holes? "uhmm so I can have more horsepower and be the king of the streets?"
