We should have this picture with a text in it like: Bonneville class record holder in our daily picture set.

Assuming this actually works, here's the requested picture of the 924 just after breaking the existing G/CPRO record at Bonneville. That's me looking under the car to see if everything stayed put, while two of the crew calmly discussed what we were having for lunch while sitting

A little downforce from a 931 wing might help you with stability and increase CD, if you can, maybe even think about the 944 and GT wings..

A flush mount windshield may help aero some, a euro front bumper and front fenders probably would too..

I don't know much about your suspension geometry question but it looks like you could go even lower yet since you say their isn't much for bumps..
Maybe lower with stiffer springs..

Also with such a unique traction situation It makes me wonder if running like a rally car, no sway bars and very little to no shock dampening, would be the best to keep your tires on the ground..

Keep up the good work man we love hearing about your car..

Rick recognized that the car was extremely light over the rear axle as the non-turbo 924 shell did not have a hatch-mounted rear spoiler, and several hundred pounds of lift were hampering forward progress. The rear wheels were struggling for traction above 140 miles per hour, resulting in nearly 20 miles per hour of wheelspin as the car ran over the slippery salt. The team knew that they needed to make a few adjustments for 2018, and the aim was now to hit that 150 mark. There was speed to be gained.

Last winter the team lowered the car further until there was only about 2.5" of clearance to the ground. The rear hatch was popped off and a be-spoilered unit from another Porsche, presumably a 944, was added. The team's first run of the day on Saturday netted a 150.278 mph timed mile



Rick was given Mount's name via a 924 message board, and after a bit of coaxing, he convinced the champ to renounce retirement for one last engine and trans build.
