At the Speedway we found that 1 Deg. of rear wing and 1/2 in the fronts (aero grip for sissy's) to the positive will knock about 8 MPH of the straight away speed. That is minuscule wing movement. The drag generated at those speeds is tremendous.

But so is the downforce
That was the trade off. The driver felt more secure with the aero grip. It did pick up the average lap times but just a bit. Maybe 1 to 2 MPH as the peddle was staying down or closer to it.
Thing is the car being planted was not going to get the avg. lap speeds up to qualifying levels. If you looked at the fast guys cars they were flying them pretty loose.
Yes but that cost fuel/speed/tires. There is a trade off for the security.
It is a comfortable feeling to have the car on rails but the fast guys motor on by.

My mother told me that one of her co workers has a 1970 Nova she's trying to get rid of. Body supposedly good, needs engine work. 120,000 miles. That's all I know.... Trying to get more info. Any interest from y'all in here?

Plenty of interest I'm sure. Money? I ain't got none of that...

Exactly... That's what I told her, then I got to thinkin that I don't even know how many doors it has or what they want for it... I'm trying to find out... Hell, maybe I need a Nova. I didn't yesterday, but that was yesterday. I'll see what I can find....

135k to 176k purpose built FACTORY Porsche. Say what you will about the wing but I guarantee it ain't on there for looks!

A little more fore thought in the design phase coulda ended in something both functional and visually appealing.

Got the right side pretty much done tonight. This original paint is the best I've ever had the opportunity to work with. I am seriously in love with this car... It's super nice, but has just enough "patina" and battle scars to let you know she's been around. Owner has taken really good care of this paint over the years, but fell off on the maintenance the last couple. Took it into Mikes to use their sprayer and pushed the soap button. The soap ate off all the polishes and wax that was on the paint. Made him sick. Paint is in super nice shape, just dry. Needs oils rubbed back into it.
Comparison of the top of the fender done vs hood that hasn't been touched.
Mmmmmmm reflections are back.

Now that you mention it..... Porsche does make a v8. I think it's a 4.8L. I wonder if they could stuff one of those in the rear of that thing. But I guess that's kinda why they have the 918, that's a mid engine car. Only difference is about $800,000...

I figured some may be interested in this. I've never seen a spark plug like these. Scared the crap outta me when I pulled one out yesterday because I only grabbed the top part...
