Aerodynamics Forum
Finally, we have ourselves an Aerodynamic Forum. But I just have one question, why put it with bodykits and such instead of its own seperate Forum?

Re: Aerodynamics Forum
because the original intentions of body kits was to affect the aerodynamics of cars before it turned into an aesthetic thing?

certain bodykits and "remodelled" bodywork can halp improve aerodynamics. use your head...think about it...

Re: Aerodynamics Forum
yea, but not as many people these days think of aerodynamics when they fit a bodykit. Most do it because they supposedly look "gangsta". So that's why I was kind of reluctant in associating aerodynamics with bodykits.

Re: Aerodynamics Forum
Sorry to wake up this old topic, but this is one of my favorite topics.
I agree with the above mentioned statement about the motivation behind most modern bodykits, ie: asthetics before function. There are a few exceptions to that, however. I believe German TUV approved aero components go through mandatory wind tunnel testing to determine if any negative aero charachteristics exist. Granted, that doesn't necessarily guarantee function, but at least there's a check system involved to approve the products use for the mass market. |

Re: Aerodynamics Forum
SL8Brick- In cases where you want to add something to an old thread, rather than resurrect it (frowned upon in the Community Guidelines), start a new thread and put a link to the old thread in your post.
