They’re much more efficient with an end fence though, correct? There is a width restriction on cars which means you pretty much have to have end plates.

If you list aftermarket parts on ebay you have to include “fits” or “for” in the title with any Nissan trademarks or Nissan’s lawyers will contact you.
Apparently they think their customers will confuse ARP head studs or Hawk Brake Pads for OEM Nissan parts.
Wings need end plates to make downforce worth talking about.
I wonder how in state emissions testing works. The car is OBD2 so it would require some sort of emissions testing.
The Venom is not a production car.
Gas is cheap right now so people can prioritize ground clearance over MPGs.
The cost of the trophy truck is nothing compared to the costs of actually running it. Winning a race like the Baja 1000 will cost well over a million after you pay for the prerunning, support trucks, chase helicopters, and all the spares.
I had dinner with a shop owner that builds engines for Baja and was shocked at…
Where are you racing something like that?
Why does it stop with CUVs? We’re already to small “SUVs” that handle like cars. Wouldn’t the next step be wagons/5 door hatchbacks?
Unlikely. Customer interests are cyclical and CUVs are the flavor of the day.
Indianapolis below St Louis and Columbus?
How is a car that has historically been unreliable “worth a drive”? You’re not going to learn anything relevant regarding reliability from a test drive.
What convertibles are available for under 40k right now? Buick Cascada, Camaro, Mustang, Miata, Mini Cooper and Jeeps are the only ones that come to mind.
In the 90s you had convertible versions of most of the economy cars (Cavalier, Shadow, Metro), the Camaro/Firebird, Mustang, VW Cabrio, Lebaron, Cutlass, Celica,…
It seems like convertibles (at least economical ones) are on their way out again. Looking back to the 90s there were a lot of options and one by one they have disappeared.
The last thing F1 needs is more rules regarding aerodynamics. Open areas for development like this are how we get advances in technology that trickle down into street cars.
F1 is looking at this (see pictures below from a 18" wheel test). That being said, the challenge is efficiency not thermal capacity. F1 teams want to flow the least amount of air to the brakes that they can because it causes aerdynamic drag.
On a special order product like this it is very likely that each team’s part is unique. That being said, if a company figures out how to make something better the improvement will likely be carried over to other product when they have the chance.
Any gofundme page related to funding a car build. Latest one was a guy asking for funds to rebuild his GT3 Cup car.
I’m in the exact same situation. I probably have another 1-2 years before I’ll be looking to get rid of mine but I would like to at least know how this is going to impact me. Especially considering I have a 2010 Jetta which looks like one of the most likely candidates for buyback.
