New Here :The Evolution of my 996 Turbo 1037 AWHP/ 780 AWTQ
You can bet on it .I was thinking about taking it to the next Porsche concours and piss off all the purists just for laughs

Have you run the car at high speed to see how the aerodynamics are affected by the chute on the back. That area should be a fairly low pressure area so you should not notice much af a difference. But you never know. Are you disabling the rear wing so it does not come up? not sure if you had that done on your record run. That makes a big difference aerodynamically, but not sure what it does to stability during breaking, but you have the chute so your covered.

It is hard to test those mph unless you have access to a wind tunnel and an aero engineer but others have gone faster in less aerodynamic bodies with a chute on the back.We already know we can go 231mph with the car and she was stable so we feel we just need to check how it reacts with the chute at different mph.I will work up to that 231 and hopefully beyond slowly. Once i feel comfortable with the chute operation Its on like Donkey Kong.
