i'm pretty sure he's talking about the front, i wonder the same thing about the canards, if they actually work, are there no bodykits available for your car with front underbody diffusers?

a stiffer suspension, better tires and a front air dam that helps to create a vacuum under the car would be your best choices to accomplish anything

Believe it or not get a carbon fiber hood that has vent cutouts with a lip in front of them. This acts like a wing on an airplane creating a high & low pressure for downforce. Honda spent 100's of hours in the wind tunnel with the NSX-R and developed a hood that drawls the car to the ground.

See here: .:::WELCOME TO 2NRWERKS:::.

And here look at the bottom for "Stealth Hoods" for the lip around the vent. This creates the high & low pressures needed for downforce: .:::WELCOME TO 2NRWERKS:::.


These are proven to create downforce @ 90mph, then again on the NSX under the front hood has nothing so airflow is not interupted.

where are the radiators in NSXs?

i always thought they were in the front, and therefore, those "hood" vents are not for downfore, but rather for hot air leaving the radiator. it actually uses the venturi effect to draw the hot air out of that vent and pull it up over the car and away from the radiator.
