it proves that a large flat front is just as aerodynamic as smaller curved areas?

I can't help but think that with all that's been going on on here over last few weeks, you have made this thread to try have a sly dig and take the attention off other certain cars.

No1 has questioned how fast it will be, but its like you have tried to push it on folk that its going to be fast going off the reply above.

Where would you vent it? With an engine being in the way? (Not alot of room in a v6 corsa)

This is most practical, and cost effective. It makes a difference.
Bet there's less drag from flat fronted than essentially a bucket.

dont get me wrong, i know what youre saying. i'd smooth it though. the 90 degree angle the air has to flow through will add even more drag

Looks awesome, majority of the shit comments are only due to jed posting it up! As with bens when he posted his up he was getting comments like 'I don't like it but its built for a purpose' with jed 'it's shit' ... What's the need for it?

Agree with Sean. It's built for a reason. And only that reason. I like it to be honest. Same as bens. Built for drag raceing. Used for drag raceing.

the majority of the problem is its a corsa, and this isnt the correct website to post up about corsas on
