basjoos got me to thinking about the exhaust. There was some talk about venting the inside air into the rear of the proposed boattails, but what about creating a surface grill work and internal exhaust routing to "spread" the exhaust out across the boattail bottom. There would be more volume than the internal air would ever provide. I think it would be safe so long as smooth rearward flow was maintained underneath and the hatch seals were in good shape. We vent underneath small race cars. Sports Car Club of America(SCCA) only requires that exhaust exit behind the driver. Comments?
