You highlighted the wrong part. Shoulda caught something about us not getting all uppity just because we don't agree. But, whatevs. No big. As far as ricer math, you didn't follow his build at any point, so you wouldn't know what he did. I knew he had one of the few SC worth a damn in the G/Z community (cuz really, S/C ain't worth a damn...lol). But, as Lecretia would say, it TEE EYE IS what it TEE EYE IS.
His s/c build did make good power, I never denied that. But there is no way he was decreasing his drag enough to make a big difference such as winning races due to switching to a gtr bumper. There is nothing to disagree about there, that is just completely wrong and pulled out of his ***.

The part that is special about this guy is his ricer math about how putting a different bumper on his car made his car faster, and not just not noticeably faster, but fast enough to pull on cars he couldn't before. Then he tries to mention drag coefficients while mixing and matching bumpers like it is that simple of an idea.
comment in more detail
same car, same conditions..... I pull everytime.
run 1, pulls 1 cars
run 2, pulls 1.5 cars
run 3, pulls 1.5ish cars
installs body kits GTR kit
run 1, pulls 2.5 cars
run 2. pulls 3 cars
run 3, pulls 3 cars (higher top speeds at each run)
accident, bumper swap, KIT on minus GTR
install oem bumper,
run 1, 2 cars
run 2, 2 cars
run 3, 2 cars
My buddys had and still has is the same power...dyno tested same power.
thats all but one car length is a "huge" difference.
top speed type of runs.

Or you could go faster without adding a single horsepower by making the car sleeker, being more friendly about inviting the air to step out of your way. That means getting familiar with aerodynamics, the study of the interaction of gases and bodies passing through them. It's a complex discipline, and there are so many variables that can affect how a car slices the wind that you're never going to learn how to optimize it from a magazine article, though you can get a good start with the story "Aero Tricks You Can Use" from the Sept. '05 HOT ROD (see it now at www.HOTROD .com). Even professionals can only make educated guesses, but as Gary Eaker says, one good test is worth a thousand opinions.

How much you pulled on someone when it isn't back to back identical instances and especially not on a track with time stamps isn't anywhere near something that can be considered evidence of the bumper making you a car length faster.
And aerodynamics are definitely the best way to improve top speed, but what wind tunnel testing did you put your plug and play gtr bumper through? And even if the bumpers were tested individually and the gtr was shown to have less drag, how would that translate when put on your g35? The gtr bumper wasn't designed to aerodynamically flow on a g35, there is extremely good reason to assume that it would in fact be worse than the stock g35 bumper. Even if it was more aerodynamic alone, the air it is funneling is not being channeled along the rest of the lines of the g35. This can easily mean WORSE drag than stock because instead of channeling air around the entire car body as designed it is throwing air in ways it isn't supposed to, creating turbulence.

Yes I used my butt dyno and clear observation. Again, same car, same HP was the consistant. My car did change.
this is so funny, I hope you clowns are laughing as you read this. The GTR bumpe sits on the freggin ground, but non of you will know that, because NONE of you have ever had it on your car. Im talking like 4 to 5 inches lower than stock. I could get the toe of my shoe under it. Size 13, not a little boys size.
Its whatever.
Just as I have always done. I stick to what I say and wait for you all to do something other than follow the masses.
Be a leader, invent a new bumper....the INVEN was by far the best new idea produces as for as NEW and INNOVATIVE goes.
Enjoy, have a happy 4th of July.

I never saw v2.
Disregard as too you no longer have this front correct?
PM if duplication is possible.
Sick.
