New guy here
 

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking around here for awhile reading about some of the crazy stuff in the aerodynamics forum and thought I'd finally sign up.

Who I am:

- I have my roots in the automotive racing world (not too environmentally friendly)
- I am a professional engineer
- I work in the aerospace and defense industry

I have a Mercedes 240D that is my "bio friendly" car. I also have a Lotus Elise which I consider to be the most environmentally friendly "exotic" car that is out there right now except from the Tesla (it's close cousin).

The similarities between racing modifications and eco-modding are ironically very similar.

Anyway, I'll probably be lurking more then I'm posting but I just wanted to introduce myself.

Nice of you to introduce yourself here. Don't be a stranger ;)

Welcome, gtmotor!
There are plenty of us aerospace and engineer types around here for you to rub elbows with.
Jump in and share whenever you please. It's all part of the fun.

Welcome to EM! When I went to look at exotic cars in LA with my super-car-bonkers nephew, the Elise was the only one that displayed it's MPG sticker. It was something like 24/28 MPG. Power to weight ratio has always been my standard for car performance. My favorite car I never got was a Beck 550 Spyder kit car. 0-60 in 4.4 seconds in 1984!
