I'm looking at making a copy of the 1979 Ford Mustang Daytona showcar smoked polycarbonate headlamp, grille and lamp aero body kit combined with the 1980 IMSA plexiglass kit.
It's so I can drop the Cd from the 0.44 it is now to well below the SVO's 0.32 if I can.
For example, in instances where an engines automatic transmission spec and gearing wasn't changed, the same 135 hp, such as in Europe, for example, the Audi 5000 got a near 40% reduction in drag, and it saved 11 % fuel on the highway cycle, 2.1 US mpg at 56 mph, and 2.6 mpg at 75 mph, and it got an extra 5 mph top speed.
If you can look past the ultrawide 12 x 15" Compomotive / Ronal Turbo wheels AND P7's, these shots show the IMSA has 90 degree tangs that hook into the trims.
They said of it on http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1979-1...d-mustang9.htm
Anyone got more IMSA window photos. I'm hoping to add glasshouse kit without spoiling the existing car, so its gotta be a bolt on bolt off deal, not a flush bonded 87 on set up.Powered by a much-modified turbo-four, this buff hatchback crouched low on ultra-wide Pirelli P7 tires hugged by outlandishly flared fenders. Also featured were a grille-less nose, deep front air dam, loop rear spoiler, and competition-inspired pop-riveted plastic covers on the side windows and taillight panel. In name and appearance, the IMSA strongly suggested that Ford was more than just thinking about a return to competition -- and about the International Motor Sports Association GT series in particular

I'm pretty sure that with these two mods, and perhaps a brianj style low body kit and an undercar belly pan, I'll get total body protection, and better mpg's, but I goota know how those IMSA window covers were fastened.
