    Re: Vorshlag ChumpCar '98 Firebird V6 Project

    Has there been any more development on a ducted hood setup for this car?

    I'm looking into doing the same thing as you did with your S197 track car. I may stand the radiator vertical or tilt it forward to gain more exhaust ducting room to the hood.

      Again, I stepped away from this build five years ago.

      The gallery above has all of the pics I have taken or gathered of this 99 Firebird, which has since been finished and raced a handful of times over the past 5 years.



      The used a Minardi livery and call this the Pontini Race Team.



      The aero changes have been fairly limited, including the change from the "bottom feed" radiator layout to a "mouth breather".



      This image above shows some hood vents they added, but that is the extent of the aero changes on this car at this time.



      The vents are visible above. They have plans to do a lot more - maybe Jason or Paul or Adam will chime in?
