Drftn280zxt Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 since I am not sure if you guys saw the post on the original thread. Here is the rear of the SuperGT 240Z design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I like what I've seen. Is there anyway a computer rendering can be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yeh nice, but lose the wing. Tailgate spoiler FTW, seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I agree that the spoilers do look better on the 240z's but to get the most effective down-force you really need to have a wing that is in the clean laminar flow that is coming off the top of the car. From my understanding most of the air flow down near the bottom of the hatch is in a drag "pocket" and surrounded by turbulent air flow since most of the air flow is separated from the car by that point, thus making it a less effective place to position a down-force inducing object. Don't get me wrong, a spoiler is better that nothing, but a wing is best and that is what ZR240 is after. Plus a "3D" wing is even better than a wing with one airfoil cross-section. By implementing multiple airfoil cross-sections you can better manipulate how much down-force you can generate by creating airfoils that match the varying flow characteristics from side to middle to the other side of the car.
