Its not a route we have taken but we use a 4x4 undertray. At these speeds we have seen a bonnet bend at the edges so we now have aero pins. Indicator clusters will simply blow away wiring & all if you rely on the springs supplied these are now held with self tappers. Was at Brunters when a sun roof blew out fixings and all at 170mph so we tape that down. We run 17" front & 19" rear to run front down with a RS500 style front lip thats about it.
We have considered a flat floor & a parachute but these need testing to get right.
When the next generation trys to beat these times & they will im sure all these other area will be explored but where do you stop. We go as fast as possible with lots of grunt nothing else really.
