...heating differential or other clever means - or what the heck - just 'pretty stripes?' I remain suspicious. The Blue Highlighted Smoke flowing over the "Yellow Submarine" shows also very interesting entrained of the flow. Something could be happening with the engine cooling under the nose...

...have to have the side windows open may as well get some ventilation. :) Seriously, incorporating the spoiler mount into the already mounted wing base plates is a real good idea. You'll get a very variable angle with that set up you've worked with you C-A-D "program." I went with 15 degree...

...I'm going to make the Optima spoiler adjustable. from the other side explanation... Optima has some requirements that make the 'standard' wing pointless... so I am building brackets that allow bolting a clear duckbill style spoiler onto the car in place of the other spoiler. With that...

Putting this here • GTV - any spoiler or wing configuration with a maximum of 8" tall from the highest point on the rear of the decklid or a maximum height of 6" above the lowest point of the rear window, whichever is less. The maximum width of the spoiler/wing must be no wider than the original...

I think 3d printers start around $400. But, like every thing, you keep upgrading software and computers. There was a used APR GTC-300 for sale a few weeks ago locally for $800. So, unless you want something special it probably isn’t a good idea. There has been a second one for $1200 for...

How much does a wing (like the DIY guy made) cost? He probably has a ton a money in the materials to make the DIY version.

...to do some CFD of just the foil section. All the "sticky-stuff" is at the customer's. Best thing (for me) I don't have to finish my hot-wire wing cutter! BTW - I have seen some foam foil suppliers in the RC world that do just this, without the CFD. I've seen some that provide just...

...modify your cnc plasma cutter to be a hot wire cut out machine. Then cut out 5 airfoil sections from foam. Bevel the ends, glue up, and carbon fiber skin like that video in the aero thread. Forward sweep like the Z06/Z07 wing adds a lot of weird stresses/instability so would be best to avoid.

...I think they changed the rules on the spoiler... so I'm going to have to rethink all of this.... part of me is considering just leaving the wing at home - OR - doing a (can't remember the term) a spoiler extension... the benefit of that is where the wing is at Optima heights is dead center of...

...never sought to take his truck out (it did terrible then ran out of fuel) - but Holley gave him an entry (as a sponsor). SCCA, I can keep my wing at a height that works, don't miss SEMA to support the event, and don't get slapped in the face. Don't be terribly surprised if, next year, I...

I was looking around and saw several APR 200 and 300 wings within a few hours at roughly 1/2 price. It turns out young guys are dressing up their cars with them and when they sell the car or just get tired of the look they sell them cheap. So, if you want to experiment with wings, that would...

I haven’t had a chance to go though this, but there appears to be a lot of info. I saw an ad for corvette parts and he was selling a wing. https://9livesracing.com/pages/cfd-testing Edit: he seems to cater to the import cars.

If this is what they had first, it looks inefficient. Thick wing cross-section, not much camber, not much space between suction surface and trunk, and exaggerated wicker bill. Low mount means dirtier air.

a wing commercial, but no real data.

Good video. I have been watching this car in development for years - from early Optima to present. On his hood vents for the radiator, notice the "lips" in front of the discharge holes - provides a low pressure area to help extract the air more efficiently. I am doing something very similar...

...leading edge that is actually an extension of the firewall. The area highlighted at the rear is the portion of tunnel that is shown in the following photos. Photo 2 shows the side skirt (under construction at the time of the photo) and the third photo is of the tunnel assembly with side...

...early in the video are what I have on my '56 - between the outside of the frame rail and the inside of the side body skirt. I have the rear wing adjusters on a bellcrank assembly with the future possibility of adding an aircraft trim motor to control the wing AOA. It would take something...

...rapidly or unexpectedly in a near-the-limit cornering situation can get your attention! In the rear I use a spoiler to lengthen the deck, a wing, and a diffuser. They should work together to both create downforce and smooth and reaccelerate the flowing air to blend with the free airstream...

...into the tunnel - overkill LOL. The belly of the car between the tunnels is a flat carbon fiber panel - again not installed in these construction shots. The last photo is a aero-tapered fairing where the wing mounts to the struts. The struts are also aero/wing shaped to minimize drag. Pappy

Hey Kid, It is a 2016 Viper ACR with the extreme aero package. 645 HP, big Brembo CCBs, and a big wing/splitter/diffuser. It has an even bigger splitter extension and vertical diffuser extensions that are not installed in these photos - not enough ground clearance for street driving. I...
