ERTW, thanks for posting that car, a real inspiration. I need to replace the long tail Porsche 956 on my "Inspiration Board" with the Porsche 962.
A short tail 962 with rear wheel skirts, very interesting.

Yes, look at the links in my signature, I very much favor the safety of down-force over anything else. My aero-mods have left me with zero gains because what ever I gain, I also take away for added safety. |
I was looking at the short-tail 956.Porsche was reporting Cd 0.42 for that car.I think that a little bit of side camber and radius in the front and down the top edges would show a measurable drag reduction.I think they also show a smidegeon of plan taper at the rear.
I know you've got a ton of work wrapped up in the model,and she'll be a hoot to 'drive',and just a little 'finessing' would show at top speed and at the pump.
I'm not real cerebral and it can take for ever for some things to creep into my psyche.And I'm certainly not slamming your work.
Without the extra views of the 'Template' I kinda went off half-cocked,opening the door to some confusion,so I hope you and any others will accept my apology if I've created extra work and headaches.If we all lived on the same street we could just visit each others shops 'n 'see' what one another was 'talkin' about.
