I have been contemplating a v dam under the car to move any massed ground compressed air out behind the rear tires.
I believe this will be a rudimentry attempt to have a boat tail effect without one. It wont have the complete effects but should create less vaccume turbulence and draft the compression layer over the car closer to the ground behind. corvetts and ferrari have similar under pan channeling but its much shorter and ridgid.
I want to incline mine and let the tails drag over 2" obstacles like my side skirts do now.
It sounds hokey in writing but the design is sound and should blend wheel side compressed air into a more defined line past rear of car.
ok sorry Hijacked your thread and most folks will have no clue what im describing anyhow!
Thanks again I needed your PVC Idea for structure to the bottom that can handle 3mph speed bumps lol.
