Snow Aerodynamics? = PERFECT Aerodynamics?

DO you think this tahoe would benefit from one


it's pretty clear the Snow created its own Aerodynamics

THIS SNOW perfectly built Aerodynamics allowed the snow to smoothly flow over the hood and windscreen while at 35-38mph



did not even have to use the wipers(some very heavy wet flakes did hit it though) it even plugged up the radiator

When the wind is from the right direction you can get a similar effect on a stationary car:

Apologies for the image being upside down but I could not get it the right way up. I even tried to edit the picture to put it upside down before I uploaded it thinking it would then get inverted again to be the right way up but that didn't work. So please either stand on your head or turn your display upside down.

Nice grille block. :thumbup:

Self-correcting as the weather changes.

Snerodynamics: Not a reliable indicator of what's optimal.

I think they can be pretty good sometimes.

It would be interesting to test snerodynamics in a wind tunnel.

I think sand has been used before, see link below with my quote.

Well the under body is an aerodynamic nightmare ..

honestly there is a lot of room to work with I'm sure I could get to 30-35mpg on a budget.. This SUV has Super Overdrive it's hard to keep it in Super over drive (EVT mode)...
even a minor slight breeze kicks it back onto the normal Transmission gears

even a few mods would help keep it in Super OD at 45 mph

Super OD only works at 40 to 45mph from my testing (but it seems everything is based on engine load and throttle...)

i would be able to get 30 to 35mpg :D most of the speed limits in my area are 40-50 mph so it would work great for me..


we would at lest need to shave it off from 0.34 to 0.32
