Yes! I like the GT350 side vents.Yeah, i'd prefer some vents like the ones on the GT350 to add some more flavor to the side profile, but not a fan of these so much.
Fender vents almost always reduce drag from the front wheel wells. I think they were deleted more because of cost and the fact that the GT350 vents tend to come off over time due to the cheap tape they use. Agreed they would have looked great on the 500.We knew about these like 2 years ago.
My understanding is they canceled them because they didnât see any real benefits.
I think they would of looked great.
Thatâs not the reason I was told when I spoke to the engineers in Vegas. They stated they found no benefit from them to relieve pressure from that area so they scrapped them. What I shouldâve asked was if it hurt it, because if it didnât I wouldâve liked for them to keep some version of it. It would help the side profile from an aesthetic perspective.I've spoken about these before. There were three variants. Aero testing was done and yes, they provided an actual benefit. In the end all three were killed because of production line install issues
Not debating that. Iâm sure they did work, but according to Jeff Greuer, there was no benefit. So itâs probably a combination of no benefit, potential line issues, and who knows what else. They were very adamant that it was a lack of benefit that led to removing them.They worked. Just as they work for Porsche.
