Reply to "rear wing aerodynamics"

Dan. You mentioned an interesting point, that you would think that the L front bumper could be slicker?
Well I presume that you mean less nose drag but I am wondering if you recall seeing any nose lift numbers with that bumper and or with any of the front spoilers like the little GTS or the Revson?

It's a long time ago and I don't think I ever saw any numbers on it but I think Pete Revson made that front spoiler after taking the first Pantera he drove, on one of his little joy rides? LOL.

I know the steering feels light over 150 with no nose spoiler. I didn't actually realize how light it was getting around 170? Something like 314 pounds lighter? Wow? Makes sense to me.

I know the little GTS front spoiler helps a little at that speed but I wouldn't attempt 200 without very serious help in the front.

Is there anyone who would care to share their knowledge about solving the aerodynamic front lift at speed on the Pantera? I promise I'll be quite and listen...and not interupt...and not be abusive. Really. Big Grin
