    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Thanks Jim. It is Kevlar on bottom for scrape resistance, foam core, and carbon fiber on top. Should be plenty strong. Yes, the splitter extension is removable. It can be replaced with any extension made for the Viper ACR. I have 3 different widths and materials, and I am building another...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Finally finished the front undertray for my C-1 track car. Bought some rubber strakes for a '23 Corvette Z06/Z07 and cut them up to help guide air to a couple of the diffuser tunnels. The front tunnels empty outside of barge boards that guide the air toward the outboard side pod diffuser...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Now that we are on the subject, here is an experiment I intend to conduct. I have already built diffuser tunnels between the frame and rocker panels/side skirts. Air is fed to them via the front fender splash panel behind the tire and barge boards along the frame. I built CF plugs for my...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    This may be a little hard to explain, but here is what I would suggest. Add brackets to the frame behind the front fascia to support the splitter, Then attach the air dam (really a filler panel in this case) to the bottom of the spoiler but do not attach it to the splitter as a supporting...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    The CF splitter extension (from Doug Shelby) is honeycomb core. The black one with the red edge is a solid, harder composite plastic of some type - durable but much heavier. The stock Viper ACR splitter extensions are also the harder composite. The new one I am building is foam core with...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Serious aero on my buddie's Viper. Notice the side skirt treatment. Full flat belly pan as well.

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Thanks Jim. The undertray has a "step up" notch to allow the Viper splitter extensions to be flush with the undertray when installed. The undertray extends back to and flush with the bottom of the engine which is set well back, and there are barge boards that direct the airflow from the...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Thought I'd check in so you would know I was still around and working on aero. Teaser - how about a center bar for the grill of my 56 Corvette track car with an integrated, adjustable airfoil and ends of the bar that act as canards as they go up into 4" brake cooling ducts on either side of the...
