I thought they had a street legal R-GT at a show?? Maybe not, my bad.Originally Posted by netburner

I know the difference between an RGT and Rice .. this is the latter RGT has a bigger spolier and more aero cosmetics on the physical side of things (I think the cosmetics have a function on the RGT although I have no evidence to back this up). I think a road-going RGT would be pretty awesome .. although the interior would be lacking what the standard Murcielago hasOriginally Posted by Suka
Heres the RGT (notice it doesnt have tacky bits stuck to the headlights, the rear lights dont have pimpin' tintin', the enormous splitter coming out the back that has a real function and the exhausts that aren't unneccesserily huge )
Whoa!!! Please follow forum rules and use pictures lower than 800x600 inline!! And yes i have already gone and researched it and found that they don't make a road R-GT, my bad. A road R-GT wouldn't quite be as prominent as regulations state that a rear wing can be no wider than the cockpit of the car, rule best illistrated by the Lotus Exige.
Edit: Just noticed that the picture has been resized.

I would like to use this moment to convey my extreme jelousy at your Dad owning a Giulietta Sprint 1600. Those cars make me go weak at the knees whenever i see them and Id drown kittens to get a ride in one. If you want a new 16-year old housetrained brother, Id be more than happy to fill the spotOriginally Posted by forza_autodelta
I just wondered .. is that why cars like the Exige have the spolier in a curve shape instead of the traditional rectangular shape so they can fit more spoiler in a smaller area? Or is it just because it looks better?Originally Posted by Suka
Yeah, sorry about that .. Im sure the picture I chose was below 800x600. I found another picture which is smaller anyway.Just noticed that the picture has been resized.
Aren't those Murciélago Barchetta rims?Originally Posted by :Exige:

the only dimension which matters in this case (assuming the flow over the back is straight) is the horizontal area. imagine looking at the wing from the front, lets say it curved back 3meters. the only area which could be considered effective is the width of the wing(width of the car) because the streamlines of the airflow hit the wing the same now matter how much its curved.Originally Posted by :Exige:
you only need to consider the cross-section of the wing which is constant despite the curve.
BUT if the airflow over the rear cowl is irregular there could be some benefit from curving the wing (note how it has a similar curve as the engine cover).
"PAn-Pan" is equal to Panhard in frenchOriginally Posted by 250 GTO
