SEMA 2013 - People's choice award - Nov 5th

Strange rear wing, no?

No.

 

[Samus]

I'm no expert but isn't that sort of style more common with drag cars? I mean that isn't going to be generating much downforce.

More info on GT6 SEMA Corvette from AutoBlog.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I need this in GT! The new Lexus IS but with a 700bhp stroker 3.4 2JZ and a 5MT from a Chaser.

Absolutely.

You don't even need wings to generate downforce. A simple spoiler will work. Air flowing over the car is only one method. Underbody aero like ground effects are a lot more efficient.

Yeah but that one seems completely flat to the car, no 'lip' on it at all. Anyway no big deal, just looked odd to me. The rest of the car looks good.

Its not

 

[Griffith500]

EDIT. Disregard. Nothing to see here.

 

[Swagger897]

Its not

Flat he probably meant as no elevation difference between the actual body of the car to the beginning of the spoiler, which there isn't any change..

Its angled, not drastically but there's a small gurney (raised edge) across the wing as well, the side view helps you see the slight tilt

 

[Duphman]

Most land speed cars have a spoiler with that exact set up

 

[trustjab]

Minimal drag but still provides negative lift.

What time did this end? I'm on PD's FB page and its not on there.

 

[tpark103]

Are there any Porsches on SEMA?

Yes there are several 2013 as well as previous model years that have been modified by some of the worlds best tuners. I have actually posted preview pics of some of these 911s attending SEMA 2013.

My bad on the double............its been a few years

I wonder if the date is wrong. The party for the winner is Wednesday night, so maybe they meant the 6th? I see nothing on the GT facebook page.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Just a taste of the cars attending. http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/11/sema-2013-calm-storm/#chapter-a-sneak-peek

Please voters, try and give all the cars a fair chance. I am sure all of their builders worked hard on them so try and see the merit in all the cars.

They still haven't posted any cars on the Facebook page to vote on!

That stinks because I was hoping I would be able to attend this year. My schedule is keeping me one week out so I wont be in town until next week. Hopefully my vote will still count.

The voting will begin tomorrow morning (PST) - I think there were a few hiccups with the plans today.

Taku Imasaki will present the awards.

What time of morning are we talking about? 7 AM PST? 11 AM PST?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Probably 8 or 9-ish when the show opens for the day.

Good question, but I don't know.
