Thanks, John

This is for those who think it needs more air flow:

A) This much I love with the small scoop piece on the door.

B) Not too crazy about the back half you rendered, but as good as any guess I suppose. keep your idea coming.

One thing for sure is I think you’re right about thus:

The design below is truer to the door contour that we see on the disguised cars (save the MIG-fighter-wing scoop).”

no one is close on the side scoop. It’s crazy to me because i started weeks ago that it is almost identical to the gen v viper scoop....just reversed for the rear. If you put that scoop design on FVS’s black roof car above, it’s close but still different. Don’t ask amplifying questions because i can’t answer them. Someone just do it and you will see.

i agree with you, and I thought that is what i drew. Yes, i complicated it with secondary blades and such, but is the shape I drew not the viper in reverse? And is my description of the triangle on the door, being like the viper's door triangle, not the same?

I’ll take a stab at it although not perfect.

Or this.

EDIT: But of course the door seam is way different and should be moved to the left.

what people need is guidance on how little the triangle actually comes forward past the door seam. I believe they are all coming too far forward. If i am wrong or correct, feedback would be appreciated c8ur911

Bottom of where scoop ends bugged me - cleaned it up a bit - looking more like a Ferrari and to me thats a good thing - if GM launch doesnt have this black roof treatment I can see a lot of people making it look like this thanks to OP nice job looks very nice
