It is also for when you race on the salt plains. It prevents 1 drag and 2 sand from getting back there and slowing you down and destroying yo shit from the salt.

your back bumper acts as a parachute, air gets trapped in there as the car moves forwards, parasitic drag= slow car down, holes allow air flow thro the bumper instead of holding it there creating drag. but like "thermal" said street cars have no real use for them.......
I wonder who that was
(thats the same way I describe it.

Any fact about that? That'd make for a good history read. Post up a link?


All the super fast street racers have them, which is why I don't have them.

It would probably be better to cover the bottom of your car with a sheet of aluminum to prevent drag all along the underside.

Yeah, but then you are going to have people comment about that being ricer and you will mess with the aerodynamics design of your car and create lift at higher speeds.

I don't have a link about it, I saw it on the speed chanel a few years ago. And I learned it in one of my classes I took at API about 5 years ago,

Yes sir. You should try it. It's like 9 screws to remove the rear bumper. Would you try it to see if it help'd? I mean, at your E.T and trap, it should.

won't create lift. A fully smooth underside should create downforce..
