Quote: At the front you would need a "cat cutter" ....I think what you are referring to here was commonly called ground effect michael - from my understanding 'ground effect' underbody design actually has a 'scoop' type front, deliberately bringing air in under the body... then the shape of the uderbody (like a venturi) accels, then decels (sucks) the air out of the back of the vehicle through a outward tapering rear diffuser. the simple cat-cutter splitter is designed to redeuce the total amount of air under the chasis generating a simple low pressure zone = downforce. a lot more simple than the ground effect design cheers ed [Report message to a moderator]
