Default 67 Impala SS air dam

I never did get a chance to do further testing as far as lift results on the air dam, traffic conditions weren't clear enough every time that I had time to test.
Anyway, The top speed increased to 153 mph at 5200 rpm and the steering feels solid so I would say it is an improvement. Also in side winds the car hardly moves at all now.
Nevada Open Road Challenge in two weeks! I'm there! Grand Touring division, 125 mph class

Vince, no worries. I got babys on the road also. Testing is only done when its safe for the public, usually sometime between 3 and 5 am, ZERO traffic.

Default Nevada Open Road Challenge

Got back a couple weeks ago from the Nevada Open Road Challenge!! The air dam worked well, what I really noticed was that high side winds didn't blow the car around at all, freeway speeds or above. Got a youtube video, the car is going about 130+ in this section, looks like zero lift. Its about 5.18 minutes in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnonMz2W-2A
1700 mile round trip, car ran great! Ran in the Grand Touring class, 125 target, 140 mph tech speed. Great time! Great people! Got two out of three awards. Car show, most unique vehicle (not sure how to take that). King of The Road, hitting four checkpoints on time (results pending due to dumb luck). . Rained every day but race day. About 150 entrants. Fastest average speed of the day was 202 mph, a retired NASCAR Monte Carlo. New Corvette, Camaro and Mustang heavy, anybody can buy a car and go fast. The real cars were of course my 67 Impala SS 125 class, 72 Charger 150 class, 67 Mustang 150 class, 67 Charger 115 class, 77 Mustang II 140 class, 70 Dart 110 class and a hand-full of 60s Mustangs. Come on guys, get your muscle cars ready and I'll see you in September! Check it out..... SSCC.us
