    What's The Underside Look Like?

    I remember when I owned my Ferrari F355 way back in the day, they touted the fact that the underside of the chassis was all smooth and aerodynamic, and since I don't have a lift to look under my Spyder, does anyone have pics?

    No pictures but I'm sure someone will post some. Have been under my car when it was on lift a couple times and there is a plastic shield under the whole bottom, also has channels in it for aerodynamics

    Overall, it's a fairly flat bottom. There are three or four NACA ducts and some aero style bends/blends around openings and such.

    I question the accuracy of that photo. It does not show the lift points for the suicide jack just behind the door or floor jack points front and back.

    Does anyone know what the air intakes to the rear silencer do? Cool the exhaust or reduce back pressure?

    Thanks

    One thing I know for sure they do is deposit lots of fine dust all over the rear bumper! Why is it the rest of the car can be spotless but the tail end is always dusty?
