Rear view of a "rail"-style dragster, with external wheels. The hollow container for the carbon dioxide cartridge can be seen towards the rear of the car. CO 2 dragsters are cars used as miniature racing cars which are propelled by a carbon dioxide cartridge, pierced to start the release of the gas, and which race on a typically 60 feet (18 ...
The term drag area derives from aerodynamics, where it is the product of some reference area (such as cross-sectional area, total surface area, or similar) and the drag coefficient. In 2003, Car and Driver magazine adopted this metric as a more intuitive way to compare the aerodynamic efficiency of various automobiles.
The full fibreglass body kit (unpainted) retails at $8,500 USD as of 2018, [3] [failed verification] to which must be added the cost of the host T-Rex. The body was designed by Hani Harouche, who explains that "I called it the Aero 3S, aero for the more aerodynamic shape [than the T-Rex], and 3S for the three seasons you can actually drive it ...

Model Products Corporation, usually known by its acronym, MPC, is an American brand and former manufacturing company of plastic scale model kits and pre-assembled promotional models of cars that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s. MPC's main competition was model kits made by AMT, Jo-Han, Revell, and Monogram.
In theory, the wedge body offered an aerodynamic advantage, decreasing turbulent airflow over the rear wheels, as well as increasing downforce; [3] in practise, the extra weight exceeded any advantage. Miller ran the car for the 1974 season, but had "mixed results"; [1] the car had no obvious edge over more conventional rear-engined dragsters.
