Superlite Aero: LS3 Powered LMP Race Car from Superlite Cars 

Exactly. They think they know everything because they graduated from RU-vid aero college.

@@jonathanstevenson8948 it's definitely just a body panel hole that hasn't been cut out yet.

and still does not seem to be a video of one doning that.

Yes, and a year later we apparently stilll have not. Iassume they sold at least 2?

@Nathaniel Miller dead link...

@Nathaniel Miller who was running it do you have a name of the team?

I believe this is over $80K now.

@@tingshawn Unfortunatey this Aero got T boned in practice yesterday..so it will not be competing tomorrow in the time trial event. Cool car in person..but I don't see myself buying one. My Ariel Atom2 will have to suffice.

Armchair engineering much?

What does that mean? All mathematical engineering is done sitting in a chair. I see a lot of stupid aerodynamics on cars like this b/c they are mindlessly copying what 'race cars' have. The issue, is that these 'race cars' like F1 and NASCAR have to follow very specific, and highly limiting rules. As far as I know, there is no truly unlimited race car class. One thing that is severely limited is aerodynamics. Well on a street car or a fun track car, there are no rules with regards to aerodynamics, yet these manufacturers continue to limit themselves needlessly.

DjRjSolarStar Only pointing out that in a 5 minute video we aren't given enough information about vehicle and all the ideas and constraints that go into building it. It's clearly not aero debauchery. But they probably did what they did with sincere intentionality. It's pretty cheap too. $70k is a steal for how fast it must be.

Yea, I agree that $70k is a good deal for what you're getting. I'm sure this is faster than any Hellcat, C7, Cobra kit car, Mustang, BMW, or Merc in the same price range. It just irritates me that with some slight body modifications it could have been better. After taking so many physics classes, which are the root of fluid computational dynamics, I've memorized angular efficiencies for various angles relative to their normal force. This car is full of shapes that aren't generating downforce but are generating drag. If I were part of the design team, I could have increased downforce at 150 mph by at least 25% with no detriment other than 'style' I suppose. This car does look pretty cool, and my version may not look as good, but is it worth prioritizing appearance over performance in a car like this? I get that on a Ferrari or a Mclaren, but a track car?

im thinking of the complex shapes you are thinking of would take away from the 70k price tag. more complex = more manufacturing complexity = more $ thats just my guess though as my cfd physics expertise goes about as far as the roller coaster i just designed on roller coaster tycoon. (not very far, people died) so yeah thats all i have to say about that.

$60k.

This car is as light as the class allows it. Bet they could take more weight off if they wanted

Find your carbon monocoque unicorn for $69K then let us all know about it!

Bill Wood ROTFL!!

Despite steel,1900lbs. Carbon chassis LMP900 cars weighed 1989 lbs/ 900kg. 69k,turnkey. Nuff said.
