Wind tunnel testing, rolling road wind tunnel testing, or maybe a full scale
CFD tested (we need a wireframe model) part Is way beyond what anyone in our possition would undertake as we are lucky to sell five hundred of these in the life span of the tooling.

These aerodynamic devices are well known through thousands of applications worldwide, with known effects to the dynamics of the
of the specific application.

And finally, if you read my opening text of this thread, I did mention that
we will be able to possibly test the car in a small wind tunnel soon.

Your intensions are simple, wreck havoc in any M7 thread, bad mouth me to the point of slander (on your site).

All your doing here is pulling up the tread to the top of the posting and I thank you for that, with a bad taste in my mouth.

You should be ashamed of your self...

I think your products are great whether for looks or functionality.

P.S. It's "you're" clever enough. And intentions, not intensions.

So, these kind of parts do work. And BTW, a COD of .39 was supercar stuff 15 years ago .

Do you think it's because the car is so small so though it's not much of a wind cutting design (as compared to a ferarri, corvette, lambo) it's just so tiny there's not enough surface area to make a difference?

I know about bricks. My other driver is an H2.

Thanks for the learnin'

Might have it sold next week. Since I bought the mini, I have no desire to drive the brick.

Correct! But not the way that you using it...the Cadillac Catera had a cd of .33 in the 90's. it's no supercar. Heck an '89 Vauxhall Calibra had a cd of 0.26. A '59 Lotus Elite has a cd of .29

Supercars generally do not have good numbers here. A Ferrari F50 has higher cd numbers than a normal MINI Cooper S. True Story.
