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 |

So does anyone have EQUATIONS that one could plug in values to get a rough estimate of x (x=top speed or hp or weight or...whatever is trying to be figured out)? Variables like weight, hp, frontal area, Cd, gearing (this would be real nice!), speed, etc.
I understand aerodynamics isn't simple stuff but aren't there algebraic equations that could give ball-park values? I'm looking for equations, not web pages that output the results. |

...http://www.amazon.com/Aerodynamics-Hp1267-...720&sr=1-23 http://www.amazon.com/Race-Car-Aerodynamic...7760&sr=1-2 http://www.amazon.com/Competition-Car-Aero...7760&sr=1-1 I know that there are books out there that I could use, however, I didn't ask for book recommendations. I was hoping someone knew of a web site that had this info instead of me having to waste time searching for it. |
