Seems ridiculously tall to me. Since you have no glass, I think you could have kept the whole thing below the targa bar and accomplished the same net effect with less wind resistance.

Just my .02

You're right I could have, but what fun would that be. Better to give people here a chance to rag on me some more. And that would have been way tooooo easy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I know it works... but at least trim it down to fit under the targa bar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)

LOL

The only time heat would be a problem is if you sat in a line that didnt move on grid. I find it easier to ceramic coat the headers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

When are you going to add some winglets on it as in F1? Also at say 120 MPH how much drag/rear down force is generated?

Those little winglets on the F1 scoops house the camera's!! great idea for Paul.

Paul,
