I am going to put it out there because I know you have taken your car above 180...and I was worried about you doing that with out an undertray and getting an air bubble under the car... The muffler will be relocated to the center of the car close to the transmision....The pipes will be routed through the lower part of the rear bumper at both side of the license plate. This will allow the under tray to be flatter. I want them to try to do it with the muffler in the position it is now....but the other way is just a backup.

ssc rocks,if you never ran before make sure you get a pre-run in.just make sure it's not close to the event,leo are waiting.....if you get a ticket you can't run the ssc.
btwy since there is no spectating,the only way to watch is to volunteer for traffic control.(you man a barracade that closes intersections)

You guys seem to know a lot about down force....very impressive.....Ferrari was one of the first to use them on a street car...ferrari is not a big fan of big wings...But you are correct....you get more drag. Wings are more effective in corners when it places downforce on the rear tires. Its a must on F1 cars.....F-one...not FI..
it was already a monster !! going to be a hell of a ride

I'm not sure if it will work for Mike in his case because it will change the look of the rear end. But I think he has a different front bumper anyway, so maybe it would work. Nonetheless, if we get enough people interested, maybe we can work with somebody to do a group buy and get something at a reasonable price.
For a one off, aluminum will be cheaper, which is what I have been looking into. But if we have enough volume, perhaps we can get somebody to do it in carbon fiber for a reasonable price. The only thing is my car is a G and your's is a Z, so there will be some differences. That said, the first manufacturer to get something out there could do pretty well for themselves.
PM me with your tel. no. and I'll give you a call when I get a chance. I'm running late for a Panthers game right now, so I have to run.

I started as an Aeronautical Engineering major, but switched to EE when the aerospace industry collapsed in So. Ca. a number of years ago. With a proper diffuser setup (not the standard Infiniti setup), you can get a h@ll of alot of downforce, even in the rear. I already have a conceptual design I have been speaking with Paul at New Wave Fabrication about, but that is using aluminum. I would love to get some info on your carbon fiber setup.
My design is based on relocating my muffler...which I am not crazy about.....I am willing to look at other ideas.
I haven't put together any drawings yet, but I can explain what I am looking at doing.
