Thats the problem with certain mods its hard to tell if they are actually worth it.
I read about dimples being very beneficial and also flat zigzags, as both are not
that big there is not too much worry of them causing much drag rather than
helping with it.

MORE SPEEDWITH LESS

I am going to neck a tank drive at a set speed down a road then neck it again
to work out the MPG that will be my baseline

Any mods can then be tested out by repeating the same test, All though i cant account for weather it will give a real world indication if things are working for the better.

I love the theory of how things work but sometimes it comes down to a simple test to see either way

looking at fish and birds is always a good indicator of good design concepts when it comes to aerodynamics evaluation has been playing around much longer than man has


not directly related to cars but gets the brain stimulated

I also came across something called the ram implosion wing the concept is fascinating
but i am not sure what to make of it. it could be just a load of BS i am not sure if anyone has posted on here about it before it looks rather interesting whatever
