Default Remember the Turd?

It was an attempt to help the cars aerodynamics.

DV makes a rear lip spoiler for these cars. Don't know how well it works but..........

Here are things I have heard work:
- reducing the front intake area. Like the screen idea. That is not the first time I have heard that. I seem to recall some factory racers with no ducts next to the turn signal lamps. Just to big of a mouth!
- give the front air someplace to go (remember the turd?) those little side vents are not going to cut it!
- front air dam as wide as possible to cover up the front tires.
- side skirts
- belly pans
- laying the windsheild back. They even used a trick where there was only one bolt, and it was left loose, and a spring so at speed the windsheild would lay back but when sitting it was at the stock angle
- flip that hood scoop around
- jack up the rear of the hood or mount it with pins that sit above the hood so it will rise up with pressure (better to keep it down in the first place.
- wings, of course! Although a 'tail' might work if it was long enough. Chapperel cobra anyone!
- hard top or wind diffuser behind the driver.
- running with the side curtains in but no top! go figure!
- increase the rake
- putting a Daytona Coupe body on it!!!

Long and short of it, a brick has better aerodynamic charactoristics You will NEVER catch me doing 150 in mine! Don't know that I have been over 110 yet. I will if I ever take it down the quarter mile though!
