I'm from Germany and let me tell you shit doesn't improve north of 100mph - with impacts on the neck that is, visors just fly shut anyways and I've never been quite stupid enough to do those speeds in the rain or with an open-face. Sometimes you hit a little patch of rain when going higher speeds though and that really hurts. A friend of mine once hit a fly or a bee or something on his naked neck going about 230km/h (~140mph). He got a nice little, bloody bruise to show for it the following couple of weeks.

@sergeantspeed5941 6 лет назад

@l8rn3rds 6 лет назад

honestly all he needs is window panels, roof, and a formula 1-style front wing to deflect wind off of the wheels and that frame rail and he'll be golden. maybe a suuuper mild rear wing to counteract the front wing and keep weight on the rear tires. thats like 3 days of fab work and plexi work

@l8rn3rds 6 лет назад

Nerdy, Retro, Gaming - a wing wouldn't do anything for traction off the line because he won't be going fast enough for aero to matter in the 60 foot but if he puts a wing on the front he'll need something to put more down force on the back wheels so he doesn't spin his tires at the top end. Like one of those drag wings that lay flat but extend the length where the air passing over drops back to the ground. If he puts one off the back of the roof it wouldn't add much drag but it would keep air from dropping in front of the chute

@katieadams5860 6 лет назад

The problem with adding panels is that they would have to redo the entire setup, they would have to relocate the turbos, maybe the roll cage and the frame of the car was already hacked off too when they bought it and it didn't come with any body panels

@robertjones9606 4 года назад

It's easiest to remember that aerodynamics is defined as "how well you put the air back together after you have split it" so look up Kamm tails and see if there is a clue to better drag! :-)

@weareallbeingwatched4602 4 года назад

That's what low drag is, yes. But that is not the full description of aerodynamics.

@DriftKingNL 6 лет назад

Drag has relatively little to do with how the wind hits your car but more so to do with how it leaves your car. The bigger and stronger the area of low air density behind the car, the more drag you create. You can have the most aerodynamic front end in the world, but if the rear is as flat as the back end of a transit van, you'll have massive drag.

@ericjohnson8482 5 лет назад

Yeah, form drag is a bitch. You can see all the low pressure areas in that smoke.

@WhatnotSoforth 5 лет назад

Yup, that's why they picked up drag when they did the cardboard nose, it just let the air go over that much easier to make an even bigger bubble in the rear! They just need to close off the cockpit, especially the for roof, and add some fairing coming down over the rear bars and it would cut down drag immensely. And hey, their parachute might even deploy on time!

@headlesnorseman701 5 лет назад

Well. Yes and no. This car has a lot of “holes” which create turbulence. Even with the car in its current shape, if it was one solid enclosed space it would do much better. Imagine if you seran wrapped the whole car. Next offender would exposed wheels. They create their own boundary layer and move about twice as much air as their physical size. Then the shape would be next

@a64738 4 года назад

My Transit van is a 3,2 meter (10,5ft) high box... Fuel consumption is 1,3 Liter per 10km in 90 to 110km/h and it accelerates pretty ok up to 70km/h but after that it is slow.

Guess you slept thru the part where the wind tunnel guy said Cleetus is using about 1/2 his horsepower just to overcome wind resistance and would need 3,000 hp to do what he wants. Aerodynamics AND horsepower=better. Guess some people just can't get away from that junkyard refugee look.

@LarsMarsCars 6 лет назад

Tommy Baker I know, bro! I was just kiddin' about the aero. Of course it's very important and crucial at this point if he wants to touch the 7s

Can't wait for the day the Dale themed fiberglass body is on !!!!!

@johnranieri7247 6 лет назад

Skoolblow wrong type of body, a nascar body would not be much more efficient on dragstrip than with no body..

@Grey86 6 лет назад

I mean Dale themed fiberglass drag style obvs

@joshuadavis862 6 лет назад

M773 bro that isn't that hard tbh it has the power

@Real_Richmond_510 6 лет назад

Joshua Davis all he needs is some tires and he could run a 9.9 especially since he is going to spray it with nitrous. It's possible for sure. Especially if a dodge demon that weighs the same can do it and has the same power if not less than the crown vic lol

@karlhopkins713 6 лет назад

M773 You do realize 1000 hp hellcats are deep in the 9s right and weigh a lot more? That's crank hp not 1000whp. The vic has 808whp on a stock exhaust with a full exhaust a proper tune and a tire it easily could do a 9.

@karlhopkins713 6 лет назад

Real Richmond they did 9s with 840 crank hp this has 808 whp a lot more than 840 crank.

@darkshadow.0 4 года назад

Cleetus, amazing Vlog, very knowledgeable about how important aerodynamics is, thank you, keep up the good work and greetings from Croatia

@agentlongwood 6 лет назад

You need a panel to go from the hoop behind the driver's head to cover the fuel cell and parachute area. Make Leroy into a fastback! Combine that with a flat underbody and diffuser, and you may see 7s yet... Without totally ruining Leroy's savage looks.

@elijahparsons4530 6 лет назад

You should look into doing a flat tray bottom for the car! There are a ton of huge benefits to engineering a proper flat bottom/diffuser for drag and downforce.

Andrew Williamson but whas is leroy with clothes on😅

@mikehuntsayit 6 лет назад

put leroy in a prius. reckon most full steel drag cars could pick up a full second if they switched to a crazy areodynamic modern chassis like an insight or prius. theyre dumb looking but low drag speaks for itself

@sethcormier1741 6 лет назад

Yesssss

@whiteknight760 6 лет назад

Holly's definitely more aerodynamic than Leroy

@jessecraig1423 6 лет назад

Richard Piper I was just thinking I would love to see a side by side comparison of Holly's Aerodynamics VS Leroys haha

@Sporkel 6 лет назад

Richard Piper surprisingly I’ve never seen a video with holly. Can one of you link a video that holly is in? I’d love to see!

@whiteknight760 6 лет назад

Spork Holly is in most videos

@Sporkel 6 лет назад

I'm just fairly new to this channel so yeah.. Can you link one please?

@cdurkinz 5 лет назад

You still got 7s! haha. I wonder how you figure that all out with the added weight of the body panels as well as having lift instead of downforce. I wonder if the panels are better or not, I don't know how to figure it out.

@tomstech4390 6 лет назад

Literally finding out that cars have a body for a reason, which was learned about 100 years ago.

@User22435 6 лет назад

Mold a bunch of carbon fiber body panels for Leroy...

@SloppyMechanics 6 лет назад

Awesome to see your car is double the drag, also interesting to see you have a lot of good downforce helping with traction, would be neat to see a removable nose cone or something, probably easier to install some 80mm’s and keep pushing through

@Chris_Harris 6 лет назад

Awesome to see him wax over it all by saying, "Well hell, Texas Speed gonna push through all that" like someone in SERIOUS denial.

@NightshiftCustom 6 лет назад

at those speeds i dont think he needs more down force. first few gears is when he wants more!

I think Leroy the Savage has earned himself some aero at the cost of the cart-look. This beast deserves to run sevens!!

@ToddLarsen 6 лет назад

Leroy is always in "drag" mode lol imagine with killer body kit?

@jdubbfam37 5 лет назад

Awesome. Amazing. You can say what you want to but I will say that was entertaining. Holly liked the breeze she's loving it . Great video.

@isaacshively6705 6 лет назад

So Cleetus, did you imagine Leroy would ever go from a LSA supercharged stock bottom end to the beast he is today? If Neighbor ends up anything like Leroy he's gonna rip!

@MrDubbindan 6 лет назад

@mcfittyfoot 5 лет назад

Thx Cleet! You've inspired to chose better expletives ;) I had an old 74 ford E100 van with a 289 hi-po engine. At 70mph the sides and top would flutter cuz most of the spots welds were cracked. Prolly still better than LeRoy ha!

@MrSlimeMan01 5 месяцев назад

Now with Leroy getting a body, I’m interested to see how much of a difference it makes

@Pavelow53forever 6 лет назад

Just get a funny car/pro mod fiberglass shell to throw on top of Leroy when you want to drag race and then you can take it off for everything else.

Eagles do need no damn aerodynamics they just got that freedom power hell ya brother keep on keepin on

@snozbaries7652 6 лет назад

well eagles do literally depend on aerodynamics. Leroy must become one with the eagles because freedom

@beni5149 6 лет назад

eagles are very aerodynamic, in fact the whole reason they can fly is because of aerodynamic, from the feathers to morphing wings and even the body is all AERODYNAMICS bro, The aerodynamic bald eagle uses wind and freedom power, and maybe some high horsepower gun powder fuel.

@ajhartmanaero 4 года назад

This was cool! I just posted a video of being in the same tunnel with a BMW set up for road racing. We were in the 1.4 L/D range but were trying to make downforce. Pretty cool seeing these numbers for a car set up differently.
