I did, and no it's not photoshop, my photo editing expertise is limited to MS Paint(which was not used for this image). The front wing is real.

Not weeks ago, it was only finished Thursday and posted Friday. There will be a write up at some point, but I've got to play catch up first. A little better quality photo:

MS paint photochop skills. That's about mine as well!

Other than the obvious of where the air flow pushes the car down, would like to know the differences between an underbite type lip vs. the wing in front. Can't wait for review!

I saw bimmerworld mention a 3 second drop in lap time on their facebook page. If that's from the front wing setup alone then that's pretty nuts. I'd love to hear why you chose to go this route over the typical front splitter setup.

I am thinking that the 3 second drop refers to beating the old track record by 3 seconds. The rest of us were duking it out for 2nd place.

That makes sense. I'm hoping he has some data.

3 seconds was in reference to how much we beat the old TT3 record by. We'll try to get aero and no aero lap times at MSR Cresson in a few months, the aero will have much more effect there than at MSR Houston.

I do, but I probably won't be making it public for a while.

You've been practicing for this, I know:

....but I think NASA uses unmanned vehicles for this.

Dirt. No problem.

Remote control no problem as long as it's DSC off ha.

Since it didn't get posted directly, here's my fast lap from the weekend.

Move Over · 01-27-2016, 12:04 PM

That front aero is something else! Haha

ortho281 · 01-27-2016, 03:40 PM

Pretty wild looking but you can't argue with the results! 3 seconds faster than the TT3 record is incredible! Congrats!!!

jvitas · 02-25-2016, 05:35 AM

Which Burns mufflers did you use? I just installed the BW X-pipe with the OEM headers and want to replace the Magnaflow exhaust I have now with straight pipes going to the bumper.

SM-250-450-17. I take it you adapted the BW mid section to work with the OEM headers?
