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 |

Ken. That statement was half-joke. But only half. It was used as a transitional statement into the subject of formula car tech, and their expenditures in developing better aerodynamics in different angles.
And "slab area" doesn't matter as long as everything you calculate uses the same variables. What does it matter to you or anyone else to know the exact resistance. It doesn't. But as long as you apply the same equation to every car you consider, you'll have accurate data for improving the design. Besides. I've been blown over 2 lanes by crosswinds before in my 914. 914s are lighter and have MUCH less traction than most cars. That's never happened to you? WTF with your statement?!? |
