Those exhaust pipes.

I find that awesome. Makes sense. The spoiler is creating a huge negative pressure under it/the whole back of the car. That's where the airs flowing, lets push it that way.

I'v read some stuff on the motor bike aerodynamics and they said that having the exhaust pointing out the back and inline with the air flow gave a considerable increase in top speed.

I look at drag cars with the exhaust exiting the front bumper and wonder if they have actually done any testing on that.
If you think about it, having 1000hp of hot gas coming out the side perpendicular to the car it must stuff up the airflow something chronic.



Surly having that coming out the back would make a difference at 200kph.

What the hell am I talking about...

yeah but 3m of exhaust pipe = 0.5kg of extra weight or something

the % time @ speed where that would matter is also less vs. % time where weight matters = 100%
in the race car they probably have to run mufflers out the back due to regs anyways, plus probably have long extractors that go halfway down the car.

im waffling

P.S.

I highly approve of MS Paint wind tunnel.


oh and a picture

^ So cool.
