    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    ...A front radiator diffuser duct is formed by the CF panels at the sides of the brake ducts and an upper curved panel. The center bar and wing act as an airflow "splitter" to direct air toward the upper portion of the diffuser/radiator. I get my carbon fiber from Fiberglast...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    ...an aero perspective, the "shaped" belly pan would be seeing a slightly larger angle of attack and could introduce some more lift - or stall. In either case thee would be more drag - making a minor contribution to slowing the car. A lot there. Hope you can find some useful nuggets. Cheers...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I think he mentions the reason why keeping downforce constant from the underbody wing helps keep tires cooler. When the downforce changes suddenly, the traction forces change rapidly, loading and unloading tires. The sudden changes in load is responsible for wear and heat, I believe is what...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    So all the phase change materials (and other theories) talk was wrong and front and rear tire temperatures are controlled by flexing the front wing? I think the budget for a top F1 team is $500 million per year. This is why.

    ...7-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission. The aerodynamics were heavily optimized, with an aggressive front splitter and a massive rear wing to generate downforce. Despite its performance capabilities, the C7 ZR1 still had to contend with the limitations of a front-engine design...

    shook a light out also lost the rod for the passenger side headlight door but the wing is back on - so all is good

    I didn't think I was going to make it. Car is tuned, detailed, truck is back (no front bumper) and my assistant kid is going to help at the event. stupid little wing installed and tw200 tires on the car Are you ready to rock? I am :)

    ...the Silver State Road Racer C-3s did a roof line version. (looking for the image...) I am similarily interested, for improving flow to a rear wing or spoiler - like the M8. But, I am also "conflicted " regarding any advantage that might given to fluid (air) rolling off fenders and impac on...

    ...to the attic and find those pics.) Saw Denny Hulme win the CAN_AM at Donnybrooke - opening year. Later caught Peter Reveson in the same type M-8 McLatren. Always liked the fences-to-wing concept. Almost did it to the little race car, which design was a McLaren near-knock-off. Cheers - Jim

    ...- but here is on that could "disguise" anything that you do underneath: A solid windscreen - well placed louvers , that tilt/twist the flow to that nice wing you have... Oh I'd like to see the numbers before/after. Maybe even some streamlines. Hmmmm. Oh yeah - I got work to do too! Cheers...

APR wing with aluminum sandwich plate underneath so you don't have 4small bolts trying to rip through the fiberglass hatch. dIY aluminum front splitter...

    He discusses other concepts near the end. I like the one which stalls half the wing.

    removed the last vestiges of Optima 2023.... put the wing back where it belongs time to start considering what the front is going to look like - I don't think I'm getting enough air for cooling and adding more hp isn't going to help on that front (yes 511 ci is in sight) time to make the second...

    This c8 looks good with a straight wing.

    I think the carbon flash paint is a byproduct of imperfect exposed carbon fiber appearance. Like the carbon fiber wing on the Viper ACR, they only released exposed carbon fiber versions if the weave appeared to be perfect. They even changed the wing on mine in QC at the factory due to a visual...

    BBC - NA. LS is a fantastic platform for turbos, but I've been watching a really nice 70 Chevelle that has all the protouring mods at Optima. He's not doing well because he either is in boost lag or on boost and either breaking something or out of control. Spoilers... I think it helps on...
