No flappin goin' on there at all.... and there's zero parachute effect. I think the low pressure area created over the roofline is the reason. If there's no pressure being built up "under" the lexan... then there's no buffeting like what would be felt if there was air pressure trying to find it's way and creating all manor of turbulence back there.

Mind you - the old clunky Camaro's may have a different issue compared to the sleek racing lines of the mighty Mustang...

I'm going to buy this tomorrow to replace the low life foreigner.... We'll see how well he can handle it vs the go-kart.

It has been built with thought.

Well I was only half joking..... I still think the little British Go-Kart is perfect as a back up track car... But I am going down to look at it.

Lost my train of thought after seeing that bad ass mamma jamma.

Spent a couple hours today replacing front pads and rotors. Dropped the car and torqued the front wheels. Went to the rear to torque the rear wheels just for good measure and noticed a shim of backing plate or something like that sliding away from the caliper. Don't think I'll look into that today. Probly do it next Friday after I pick up new rear pads but this is one of those instances where we're reminded to check our cars thoroughly after each track day.
