Front fender vents
There is a steep penalty in NASA TT for front splitters but no penalty for rear wings so you end up with a challenge balancing the car out. I’m wondering if fender vents above the wheels would help. Boxsters have not only brake cooling air entering the wells but also the radiator air (if you’ve modified your fenders like most of us have) so I think boxsters would be a good candidate. Has anyone tried this?

i've thought about it, but probably the most invasive mod you can do - cutting and such. have you done the centre vent?

Here's what I'm thinking, the Rough Mustang vents are flexible, effective and cheap. Apparently the best position is at the top of the wheel well where air pressure is the highest (the tire pulls air up the back as it spins and the incoming from the ducts and rad meets it at the top of the tire.

Probably a better route.
c6 corvette fender vents Also has anyone done any engine venting? Maybe existing through the top hatch and out the clamshell? |
Interesting idea, you need to see which flows better with the porsche lines though. They not have one for 996 cars?

i'd thought about that but it's a significant bend and my fear was the the louvers would distort (and not look cool). i don't live close enough to anywhere to actually get my hands on one to see. there was a company making a cf product for the gt2 that is nla. hey, you can always chumpcar it and get the deed done with a hole saw. otherwise, check the aero - from what i'd read, the highest pressure area is actually just in front of the wheel centreline.

maybe buy some janky fenders from Woody to test stamped vents? If it works, then do it to your originals?

Well TT director just confirmed that this is illegal. Not sure how everyone is getting away with it but I’d rather not test the waters. Someone else should carry the torch though!
Happy Friday :cheers: |
