Racing to tech transfer
under the hood of a C6-R race car reveals a carbon-fiber intake box fed by two ducts. Each duct flange contains a 31.5-mmdiameter restrictor plate. The plates limit airflow to the 7.0-liter engine and cap power output at about 590 hp. Race rules key restrictor size to car weight; heavier cars get
