Hm, I like the look of the silver racing car (About the second one in). For one thing, the functional upper scoops are intriguing, would be fun to run the take from either end of them. Ram air is pretty damn awesome.
Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Let me know if you DO intend to do ram air. I've been studying extensively on aerodynamics and would love to help out in any way possible.

It turns out it is about 4" lower in back and about 3 inches in front.

I need help figuring out what kinds of wheels and tires I can use on it.  I love the Johnny style the most, but as the Mexican worker said this morning when I pulled into a parking spot "Oh that's like one of those old school exotics." lol  so maybe the Clynt style wheels and tires might be more appropriate...  I don't know...  I'm wondering if maybe this particular car will even need to be a widebody...

I have a whole stack of papers on turbulence, pressure, laminer flow, venturi effect, fluid dynamics and damn near everything else you could ever want to know about how air moves. I will scan them tomorrow and PM you them.

Venturi effect will only come into play when the intake changes diametre, in this manner:

                                                  
             \                    /
                                  
             /                    \             

The skinny part will cause air to move faster and lower it's pressure, both of which will help you add hydrogen into the mix (Think of how a carburator works). Doing this after the ram air section of the intake would provide the best results.

You appear to have a history of posting and then deleting posts in this manner.

For anyone who's curious what I'm talking about, click Here to see how fencerenu has made a mess of the forums at Pennock's as well.

I don't know what your problem is, but nobody appreciates threads being trashed like this.

[EDIT] Lots has transpired since I originally posted this, but I'm going to leave it as is as I don't believe in deleting posts normally.

I suspect our friend fencerenu has some psychological problems he must be working through.

He did seem a little odd to say the least.

Hopefully Dave can simply remove all this.
