Raison d'etre: "...they look bitchen!" My point exactly. Even if they don't work, Travisjb, Fathead's scoops will be the only ones at the track!
Can you spell "Psychological Advantage!"

Just pass one newbie on the outside in a 45* drift, pedal-to-the-metal, both rears throwing smoke and rubber chunks, front-end crossed up like a motorcrosser...and as you gain traction they will see the SCOOPS!...they will think you are a Z God!

If you go there, I'll have to put on my GM Proving Grounds shirt with "Greg" name tag stitched on. It is in mothballs now, and it is still smoking. Last worn during fuel tank testing...no, I did not wear Nomex! Sometimes, I can't believe I'm still here! [insert flame smilie here]

You would have to buy Koni suspension first.

Travis I just subscribed and am wondering if you are going to put a big $&@ gt wing on your car

hey, thx for your note.

yes, I will be pursuing more rear downforce. combo of rear wing and rear diffuser. if you look back a page or two, you'll see a kognition rear wing I am considering. as for rear diffuser, that is also a possiblity, but I'll probably wait for the market to produce one vs making a custom. one like the top secret model for 350s that is said to have a real aero impact.

The course I typically run has a nascar oval that I want to be able to run flat out. Speeds now are about 120mph... when I'm done, should be up around 135mph. And I want to be able to do so well within the margins of the car, so I don't end up eating concrete!

We're also looking at options for a front splitter. That WILL be custom and made of some relatively inexpensive material such as di-bond or hdpe.

What about the sunline Z body kit

travisjb · 10-04-2009, 05:51 PM

i could imagine using the front lip from sunline, then mounting a splitter beneath it, but otherwise nothing I'm interested in there... the rear fascia and sideskirts are just for looks

Luv'n my Z · 10-04-2009, 08:04 PM

I didn'nt think you could do that

travisjb · 10-04-2009, 10:06 PM

(reading your sig) well, you also "can't" put a 5-point harness on a car without a roll bar/cage

Luv'n my Z · 10-04-2009, 10:47 PM

The five points are bolted to the floor and seat

Fathead · 10-04-2009, 10:49 PM

Thats not safe they should all bolt to the floor and a harness needs a harness bar to be effective or you are better off with stock belts.

Luv'n my Z · 10-04-2009, 10:55 PM

The seat is bolted to the floor as well. I dont race my z a lot just with some friend on the weekends
