Default Sticker that really do make your car faster

I was reading this article about a prototype vette, I think it was a Shelby or something (it was a little while back) and they were having an airflow problem. One of the engineers on site fabricated a scoop around the side vents with duct tape that resulted in about +40 mph top end. I kid you not. I don't know if you could classify duct tape as a sticker but it sure is sticky.

I was also thinking that our new HCF decals make horsepower in a roundabout way. Get on the site, buy some decals, learn how to mod and viola! More horsepower! Ok, that's a stretch but you get the idea. The first one is true though.

If it can't be fixed with duct tape, it can't be fixed... thats what my great grampa always used to say. He wore boots that were 90% duct tape.

the car that i drag race is an older, larger car, with alot of front surface area. last year at the final national event there was a SEVERE head wind, costing me about 2 tenths. so...out came the old duct tape...we covered the grille and headlight housings, and the lower rad opening, and i picked up some MPH top end.
