Nice write-up Alvin, class act. The limitless size of blog pages often lead folks to over-speak.
Your “less is more†tribute said a lot more. Gorgeous car.

I guess I should avoid telling you that the follow-up blog post will be comprehensive

Hah, there ya go. Looking forward to it, as always.
That G-Nose changes the look, so "scale model Ferrari", or period Maserati (especially with the wires) is absolutely gorgeous when done well, as that one certainly appears. I am NOT a yellow car guy, but that is one for which I would make an exception.
( I wonder if the G-Nose changes the propensity for the Z to lift its nose at speed, driving the install of an air dam... )

The G-nose, while reportedly improving aerodynamics it also hampers airflow to the radiator!FergO2k wrote: Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:08 pm Hah, there ya go. Looking forward to it, as always.

True if no aero on the front lower zone and no finished proper ducting to seal off the gaps. But with those things corrected........Alvin wrote: Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:25 pmThe G-nose, while reportedly improving aerodynamics it also hampers airflow to the radiator!FergO2k wrote: Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:08 pm Hah, there ya go.
