Check out the latest custom work on the C6.
The previously called Gurney bubble is now a Barrett bubble.
Corvette Specialty of California in Riverside did this for me and it really makes a huge difference in wind resistance, especially at track days like Laguna Seca.
I wounder how it will do in Solo?
Time will tell.

Not that anyone here cares or would ever complain, but is this something that would bump you to another class since it's a body modification? Just curious...

I would hope not, but I think it is so unique I could not tell from the rules where it falls.
It is a stock corvette roof with some fiberglass bent to accomodate my helmet. I would not think it enhances performance more than any other roof, if anything I think it would slow it down as it does cause some additional drag if wind matters at less than 60 mph.
It probably helps compared to an open top which is what I was forced to fun before I had this made.
I know I get some big advantage at track days when I am going over 100mph.
I guess I will run where ever it fits in.

Like the mod, bet it gets strange looks on the street.
if your current camera mount is your only option, may I suggest setting the iris on the camera to the outside light vs inside the car for a better picture.
