On a conventional vehicle I would agree with you....however, if you look at KMP259....you will see exactly what I mean.....with a short windshield and the evacuation of air out of the engine compartment..also the vents in the hood as well as the Torsional Plates on the bottom of the chassis gives it the movement of air we wanted....KMP259 has our own Aero package that was designed for high speed stability......and at 186 mph....it is stable as a rock.....especially at Road America 3 times a lap.....

Morris,

I agree with you since there are a few differences, the main being the short screen and the distance between the rear of the scoop and the screen.

Would still be interested in results of a wool test.

186mph is not hanging around, especially in a short wheelbase.
