Rear Undertray

[Firepath]

Would anyone else like to see an rear under-tray for the standard car like the GT350 under-tray / diff cooler? Obviously it would not incorporate the diff cooler and ducting for it, but I would have thought something to smooth out the rear-end under the car would work wonders for aerodynamics / highway fuel economy and even have lift / downforce benefits.

Seeing it on the GT350 reinforces this thinking, but I also would have thought it would be a cheap thing to do on the standard car to get some real-world benefits.

I have a similar car (in respect to the underside) a 2002 Ford Falcon with IRS, similar size, made by Ford, and it has basically a big scoop at the rear on one side (probably would be ok with a muffler on each side) where air can just scoop up into the rear bumper. I have often thought of making a panel to smooth this out and remove the sail-effect it likely has.

Thoughts?

Very few people in this country are interested in that kind of thing. Here are some pictures of my old 2010 and my buddies 2007.

I'd like to see it. It looks cleaner and has obvious aero benefits. I wonder if any aftermarket is developing this yet.

Sorry for the late reply, I must work too much, time just buzzes on by.

You guys have the same thinking as I in this regard, great to see! It is a shame this isn't more of a thing.

908spp what sort of tangible benefits do you get with that sort of extreme under-tray? Is it strictly racing benefits?

Not much are any legal road speed.
