I found this on another forum I belong to. The car is a one off but the owner and builder want to start production. The car is now in West Palm Beach FL. Have a look...

It does look cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I'm not sure the rear wing actually helps with all the holes in the chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Mar 23 2011, 06:31 PM)  I'm not sure the rear wing actually helps with all the holes in the chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If the wing gets airflow at speed, it creates downforce right? I suppose the non aerodynamic chassis could create some turbulance that affects airspeed back there, but otherwise I don't see what the holes in the chassis would have to do with it? |
