I thought the extra wheight of the chute hanging off the back most extremity of the car would give it more traction and make it faster, have I been wrong all along???

Ofcourse not. Only problem is, that picture is of an AWD skyline, so it's totally rice....cuz it actually takes weight off of half of the driving wheels (the front).

Werd to 8 second R33 GT-R ricemobiles!!

ahhh, good point :) I have no idea how I was stupid enough to forget it was AWD...oh but wait...isnt it still something like 60% biased for the back wheels? In that case the weight might balance out to still help as opposed to just putting the chute in the passenger seat for even weight distribution between both sets of drive wheels! I'm just not skilled enough to do the math to figure it out so I'll close with: Dat Skyline rice be mad phat yo.
