Aerodynamics of a bug

[graham]

Hi Spanners thanks for the continuing input on this as it is something I am very interested in.When my car was running for a short period before it started having engine install problems,I took it of a spin and noticed at around 80mph (on a private road )it felt completely stable. I think this is testament to how the running gear had been installed by type 2 detectives but I would imagine the splitter/spoiler must help/aid this stability ? I hear what you saying about track testing but as a road car I was able to do that speed with one finger on the steering wheel,with no steering rattle or hardly any scary shaking around you would experience in a normal bug.Obviously its a very different car now but to feel how stable and smooth it felt was a very pleasant surprise
I have not driven a modified beetle with this running gear so its hard for me to now what to expect but I gotta say it felt great.

Regards
