- In this newest short episode of automotive aerodynamics we look at the aerodynamics of the 3rd gen Mazda RX-7 FD vehicle! The results show that this car is not far off from the earlier FC model, but because of the new car body design, can benefit from an OEM rear spoiler. Lower drag and higher downforce are possible!

I'm sure you get this question a lot, but do you have any F1 cars? Or maybe some super car type cars? I'd live to see the efficiency of those cars compared to the average everyday car.
Thanks for the small insight. If you need the hard numbers let me know. I've got a ton of literature on the FD.
I was always pleased with the OEM rear spoiler. A lot of people have upgraded to the 99 spec spoiler. But as you mentioned, unless you're going all out on the track, having a better shape aero wise for street driving is the better compromise.
I would love to see a NC Miata PRHT airflow.
Keep them coming
please please please do the rx7 FB! love your great work :)
So when will you be doing a hard top Miata? :) Post up that article, I'd love to read it!
do a FB rx7. it looks like a rocket! will it have a lower coefficient of drag?
I have a wingless FD and I'd like to see how a '99 spec adjustable rear wing changes the flow characteristics.

+GraysGarage Can you do the aero for the RX-7 Spirit R?
Thanks
Do a video on a classic VW beetle, the rear of the car is supposedly designed to increase airflow to the engine fan (Air cooled).
yes, would be nice
Hello, you always mention about flow separation on the rear window in many of your videos. Would you be doing a video on vortex generations on the back of the roof? Would those things help with the flow separation?
Another great video, thanks!
You said that the FC has a better Cx than the FD, but the FD looks like it should have a better CX, looks smoother, even the flow of air (ok hydrogen in this case) looks more fluid, to move more freely, so what is causing it to be less efficient than the FC ?
Can you do a TVR Sagaris video?
