    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...

    Don’t see these much anymore

    ...to the track... Then slide up and in the seats, put in harnesses, enable auto blip, and good to go. Heat shielding under the trans tunnel. 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...

    ...complete cage would be stiff, light, and economical. Interesting that you say the big block beats LS. I’m assuming it is the raw torque. I keep watching prices on alum big blocks skyrocket, it is kind of difficult to watch. So now that you’ve run the wing and the spoiler, how do they...

    it arrived and put the old wing back on did an oil change oil looked okay and the spark plugs showed a touch rich and that I might be able to add a degree of timing... but at this point, it's safe so since I'm changing the entire fuel and spark system next.... I'll leave it for now. I'm...

    alrighty.... spoiler is on, looking good, and speaking of looking good, Trio is 1 year old today. other side looks okay too and the Optima spoiler truth is I like the wing better.. looks like there's a lurker

    ...the reason I used a radar arch instead of this style of aero is because that step to the back window creates huge turbulence, but putting the wing in clear air, I could get good flow. Problem to be address is that wing is illegal for Optima. Not dissing the rules at all but what you can go...
