Have you made changes to your 914 body or are you thinking of it?
Here are a number of computer models comparing different body modifications to the 914 and the effects that they have on the cars aerodynamic drag. http://www.cassidy-online.com/porsche914/aerodynamic_aids |

Hunhhhhhh??????
Chris, according to you "the equation indicates that wind has a strong effect even at very low speeds. And on a similar subject, crosswinds. There's trouble for slab-sided teeners everywhere." In reality, the teener may be slightly slab sided, but it's a damn small slab. That's a heck of a difference from an "infinite" slab. Less surface area means less side force (Pressure times AREA), and, the car is so low the pressure doesn't exert as large a rocking couple as most cars. So WTF with your statement????? Ken |
