[Hemi]

LMAO at the shrink wrapped car.
Voo, I think you should put your giant tires on an inward lean, like this...
So that when its muddy, it will throw the mud directly at your white helmet.

Paul's gonna have his 15 minutes of fame one day. He makes me laugh.

way to funny...

That shrink wrapped car is the fastest car right nw. Believe it or not..

well from the videos I have seen.. it is the most aero dynamically slick.... so it has the least resistance when at speed... that is hard to beat.... you can do all kinds of tricks to the bearings, suspension, wheels.. but it is does not cut threw the air.. it is all for naught... you have to remember these are all "gravity driven" so there is not way to over compensate for the aero resistance with additional horsepower.... my suggestion would be to replicate part of it... not all... just the front end... the latest aero studies showed that increased turbulance behind an object will increase it's speed... which is different from the long standing assumption that if you have both a aero slick nose and tail you would be faster... there is something about the turblance seemed to reduce the friction of the air and the tail... thus reducing the aero drag.. go figure..

What the f did you just fing say???

[MAD]

u lost me at "well from the videos i have seen"!

[Moose]

This is what Hemi is saying

[Hemi]

WOW.. YOU COMPLETE ME MOOSEY....

Or in other words

..

F'n cool!!!

The rear of the object has virtually no effect on your aerodynamics. Separation and turbulence on the actual object are all that concern you. The coffin shape will work, but will work better if the angles are rounded, and the nose is "sharpened". Since this won't look good, it's best to design your box however you like, and play dirty when you're near anyone faster than you.

You complete me.
