Unless you have a complete flat bottom about the most you can hope for is to just clean up the air exiting the rear of the car.

All those splitters/diffusers/votrex generators/canards etc. etc. are all for high speed stability use. If you have a track car then yes it is needed, running around on the streets then you're just doing it for the looks.

A good example of all that aero functionally at work is when I took my dads Viper to a GPS 182mph, the car was straight as an arrow, no pull in the steering wheel, the car is glued to the road from all that downforce. It felt as if I was only doing 120 to be honest. Doing GPS 165mph in my LS1 and im fighting to keep that wheel straight. Once you've driven a car speed purpose built, you can feel everything working.

He is pretty much right on. The ones on my car were there when I bought it. I removed them to fix a couple things, touch-up, etc BUT put them back on mainly for looks and a nice way to mount my A1000 pump. I do hope to run the mile. Will they help at all? Probably not, but they are back slightly far and low enough they might just a little....

They wont be doing much of anything but you can always mod it so everything is functional.

Big Red on the other hand is proof that Aerodynamics of a brick wont stop you if you have enough HP

Yup, with enough HP anything is possible. Hell the Veyron weights 4200lbs and its destroying almost everything ever built for the road.

Here we go...I just found pics for this diffusor on the fastest standing mile camaro ever. 244 MPH This one actually looks decent compared to that first one....looks expensive with all that carbon fiber. OP are you going 200+ MPH or doing this for looks?

well if you are going to build a flat bottom and a diffuser, route your exhaust to make it a blown diffuser! and make it a high volume double diffuser.
looks cool what you're doing. keep experimenting and having fun!

Big red is nasty!

Ground effects can start coming into play at as low as 40 mph. Alot of times it's the small aero changes that help the most. GMHTP did a article in the windtunnel a month or 2 ago that was very interesting.

Wish I didn't have a CME, not sure how I can work a diffuser around that.

Im gonna start building a CF wing similar to this style. (not my 69' btw)

No, different car but same design, he has his wing Mounted to the hatch instead of the factory spoiler instead, I kinda like it.






I have to add a tow hook in one of the fog light holes, last time I towed my car the flat bed fucked up my bumper from the chains, and im lowered even more now so there will be more damage.

I've seen that one somewhere before. Didn't have that front spoiler though.
Hell, I scraped up the underside of my bumper a while back wenching it onto a trailer, and it was sitting high with no engine. Even a stock height car could benefit from that.

All the diffusers posted in this thread are completely useless with how far they are off the ground.
