I forgot to mention that was without a shell or wing, as the GPS was too big to fit under the shell. Not sure how that would affect things

I would think without a body it would slow it down some. Loosing the wing would help, it would only create drag for top speed runs.
Best of luck, you're almost at 50 :mrgreen:

That's what I was thinking. I might try taping the GPS to the bottom of the car and putting the shell on the car to see if I can crack 50 with no further mods.

No question that car was tech'd out, but what's up with that camera work!? :shock: That would be like watching "300" being filmed with a Polaroid. :?

"There it was!" :D

"Oh, you mean that slight blur that flew by the bottom of the screen??" :?

They showed a guy using state of the art equipment to develop that rig and then a guy with a BETA max standing 100 yds back to film it... :(

Wouldn't loosing the wing reduce downforce and limit tire contact with the ground?

I honestly don't know because all the top speed runs I've done were without a shell OR a wing. I'm wondering if I took off the springs and just let the car sit lower to the ground if that would help too. Hmm...
