That sounds like fun--I didn't realize they got going that fast! I need to look into a new toy...

Yeah, I'm really enjoying CFD! I've done mostly structures until recently and dabbled in fluids here and there with work, but I've never gotten a whole lot of exposure to it. I think I'll try to do more of it in my career as the opportunites come.
With the real car, I've been surprised at how much difference there is between the negative lift of the 370Z and the small but certainly positive rear lift of my old S2000. Over 100mph it was really striking how much less stable that car felt than this one!
