Tough lookin car I notice the side vents by the front wheels--Is that to dump any excess engine compartment heat-?--I remember when it wasn't legal to have a plexy glass or glass covering over the headlights , I'm glad that faded away along with the convertable ban----It seems there was a cure for Ralph Nader

The large brakes bring an excellent level of stopping capability with the Z06, and with their four-wheel brake cooling, they provide excellent fade resistance and lining life during track duties.
The trailing edge of the front wheel opening is radiused to achieve improved drag, but protects the body finish with a tough molding, and a large air extractor is located behind the wheel
