Well this thread was let down.

Why is this thread a let d......nevermind

That thang could do serious damage to a plum smuggler.

Well at least they used grade 5 home depot bolts onto the trunk lid to couple that massive downforce. All the re-assurance anyone would need to drive their shitbox at 130mph around turn 8 at Willow!

 

[rvrrun]

I wonder how much slower that wing made his lap time?

“These Airfoils can produce incredible levels of downforce without killing top speed.”

Unpossible

It appears to be an inverted Clark-Y so it should make it faster.

Those are so when they get n your way, you can push them around like a shopping cart.

HAHA! You saw that too.

Looks like you got that shadow problem again.

 

[d4l]

Not enough downforce! With that thing you should be able to drive upsidedown...

Me being a bit of a prick...If you remove the rear bolts from the struts to the wing, would the ass end take flight, or would it act like a parachute? Also, is it that wide to possibly save the body in the event of a roll, like drifter training wheels?

Changing the angle of attack would just create drag.

Lift happens due to the shape of the top and bottom of the wing.

Wouldn't changing the angle of attack still create lift on a given wing? Just thinking of a plane flying inverted

Is the plane sucked up or blown up into the air?

We got tired of the debate and went with an xtra set of landing gear.

That looks like one of the best/worst Saturday mornings ever I'm still muddling through a book I ran across in my great uncle's stuff, "Theory Of Wing Section"...Problem is, he was an engineer, I just build crap

Rained Friday night and the dry lake bed turned into a lake. Had to get the Moho and trailer towed out using a backhoe. Never did get another chance to attempt the inverted landing.

Yup and I’m totally wrong about this.
TIL that angle of attack plays a much greater role than I thought.

Good article here [emoji106]

I've been trying to learn more about aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Generation of power and thrust are relatively easy things to comprehend, but making a vessel...car, boat or plane...cut through with less resistance, kind of the dark arts.

 

[t&y]

I wonder how it would perform on a treadmill?

 

[$hot]

I bet he Vapes

 

[Justfishing]

Looks like a great place to set up a bar when tailgating

I'm thinking a manbun too.

I have a man bun

 

[Wicky]

I have a man bun

But do you have a vape pen and an oversized spoiler on your beemer?

 

[$hot]

No, I compensate by driving a Geo metro

 

[rrrr]

I see the guy has a towing eye installed on the bumper. That's probably standard for him and his friends so they can get their shit boxes back home when they break down.

 

[$hot]

That's what you ziptie your nuts to and let your girlfriend dump the clutch

 

[Flying_Lavey]

That's for the drive-in. He and his Bros don't have to be cramped in the car to eat. They can use that as a table and enjoy each other's company.

Not only that, but it appears to be the factory emergency recovery hook. I crack up when I see the ricers with the sheet metal style pulls on the rear of the car. Guess they don't know those were originally designed for the drag cars to be pulled from the front to the lanes.

I thought it was a wind-up key.

I don’t know if it’s still true today...but there was a time when BMW and Mercedes built cars to a very high standard.

The factory tow hooks, and also the door strikers, could support the weight of the car. You could literally pull the car from a ditch using any of these [emoji106]

My guess is that those days are long gone.
