reading through the draft IVA manual

I came across this little gem at the end of the external projections section,

IVA Manual said:
Note 2: RS 2 will not apply to any part of the external surface of a mass produced vehicle, if as originally manufactured by the vehicle manufacturer,
providing all contactable edges are at least blunted. If an item is modified then it must meet the radius requirements.
Given that RS2 refers to all the bits relating to the min radius and contact points to various spheres etc, do the IVA/SVA experts think that this really means that in the case of a unmodified production vehicle then its all pretty irrelevant provided its blunted.

The logical conclusion to this would be the Splitter, winglets and small rear wing attached to a certain desirable viper would not need to be removed in order to pass IVA

Having never done a SVA what are the experts thoughts on such a matter?

I do know of one mustang that failed Due to the front bumper having an edge that exceeded the 2mm mark...

The RT-10 that went through had to take off all splitters and diffusers and the tow hook....

was the mustang a stock car? The RT I can understand as they would all have been modifications to the production car that then mean all the regs apply.

I must admit i have my doubts that the winglets would be considered blunt though.

>>>...mass produced vehicle...<<<

Since when is the Viper a mass produced vehicle?
