I cant see anyone running a high speed even like that with out one. Does anyone have info on this car?
I helped design and build that car (and it's sister chassis and the Mustang Cobra GT500 and Corvette Z06 GT cars)...and I can tell you that the only flat part of the underside is the area directly below the front splitter and the area below the cockpit. The remaining sections under the front and everything past the main roll hoop are wide open.

No diffuser either. The front and rear bumpers actually came straight from Nissan.

'Course no Rolex GT car is going to hit the speeds you're talking about. They don't have the power.

Though a trimmed out Daytona Prototype can do it. Creates a HUGE pressure wave though. They do have a flat bottom...with some openings at the rear to pull in high-pressure are for engine bay cooling.....though the underbody ends right around the rear wheels.

Edit: Sorry if this has been talked about....I saw it way back in the thread and didn't have time to finish reading all the way through the thread.

I assume Sharif is already done with the tuning and you are just getting a pull? Starting a tune at 430p Friday might be a late night

We'll know you are making power if you have to sit in the trunk
