I'll work exclusively on the front next to see how far I get, doing benchmarks along the way. Then I want to revisit the mirrors and windshield wiper deflector to try some variants. But I won't do any of that until we've determined just how much gain we get from redoing stuff on the front.
Let's see what happens!  |
Have fun with the cardboard and duct tape.
FYI: I tried sealing the entire cowl area for both Spindletop and SPIRIT at Bonneville, and at 98 - 105-mph, they demonstrated absolutely 'zero' difference.
Side mirrors are definitely candidates.
On SPIRIT, OEM mirrors were Cd 0.027, while SCCA racing mirrors were Cd 0.010.
Spindletop had only one side mirror. Deleting it did make a 'showing' at Bonneville. I don't have that data with me.
Just make sure that in a panic situation, you've got enough situational awareness to save your own bacon.
