just fit some air scoops if it gets hot or louver the pannels.
Ferrari and such run flat floors so im supprised the factory havent developed the Evo car to run like a modern car. ~I never did understand why the design of the rear clip was like a huge paracute as it doesnt run mudguards or flat floor and the drag on that is massive and as such the car will never do 240mph.

however, the factory declares 240 mph ......confused
I also do not understand how you get there, because the rear creates turbulence.
also for the stability in addition to aerodynamic read

Once I get the bodywork on I plan on extending the floor to the rear wheels, fit some alloy internal mud guards and extend rear ward to a diffuser.If I have heat problems then vent or suck the air out of the engine compartment

i recon it is a calculation based on max revs and engine gearing... according to my gear ratio program shared on here mine does 243 mph at 8000 rpm..... ye right!!!
