jimby,
seeing as everyone will have slightly different answers to those questions, maybe we could make that spreadsheet available to others (assuming it is not proprietary)? you could just attach in a post. not like i have a lot of time, but i would be interested in converting that to a HTML tool. frankly, i would like to do that for many tools (offset tool, gearing, etc). having an tool section with stuff like that would prove to be huge value to many on here. any programmers offering time to assist in conversions and development?

Has anyone actually got something concrete with Bug aerodynamics yet? There was a lot of good info but then it seemed to burn out.

Actually, if it's added at the roof above (in front of) the rear window, it should provide some down-force. Getting the two curvatures to mesh might be an adventure, though.

make the spoiler with two hinged spots. A main hinge to lift off the body, then a 2nd hing near the trailing edge the just lips up slightly as to give just enough lip to spoil the air.... Sorta lik \______ but way less dramatic

I have in mind to install a rear spoiler from a Beetle, I have the mechanism (works with speed sensor) and the spoiler but I'm not sure how much help in the aerodynamic of the car.
