Lift

I honestly don,t know if reversing the radiator will help. We plan on making it more vertical, but more importantly, extending the front pan forward to form a splitter.

Chris,

Small thing. Can the radiator be angled backwards instead of forwards? Owning a Cobra and running it in next weeks Big Bend Open Road Race, I feel that the air that flows thru the front opening would try to lift the car at REALLY High Speeds as it hits the rad..

Retirement?

Car guys never retire, we just work on what we love without a paycheck! Keep in touch

Looks FANTASTIC Chris.

I can see so many GT parts. Smart move, why redesign the wheel.

If you need some help on this thing, you have my number. I'm starting to get bored with this retirement.

Yes, you can use this concept FWD AWD and PHEV and BEV (use structural battery pack for the backbone), but front engine, rear transaxle is probably the most efficient.

Very cool.

Chris so would this application not be right for say a front wheel drive, front engine car, or could you just have the backbone empty?

Very neat concept and practical. Insurance would have to be reduced as well.
