It is there to counter balance the fact that the 8 liter engine should have baseline (before BoPping) restrictor in the area of 26.X or 27.X, but for some reason they managed to get lobby themselves
28.X baseline restrictor + BoP break in 2012. Which is absolutely not what the displacement vs restrictor rules say. Again, not the BoP restrictor value, but the original baseline size.
And just for the same reason there is absolutely no reason (again apart from the politics) for them to have bigger air restrictor for 8 liter V10 than Corvette has for 5,5 liter V8. In both non-BoPped and BoPed restrictor sizes!!
Having 20 kg (used to be 30kg originally) more than Corvette is pretty damn irrelevant in that sight. Plus they have larger fuel tank than anyone else - 7 liters more than C7.R - so you know
Wasn't complaining of Viper one of the reasons why I left this place the last time? Maybe I should keep more quiet
edit - fixed values
