So then what did they do to reduce space under the body that they never have done before? Is bellhousing/transmission new and smaller? Maybe they used small od exhaust tubing to make the exhaust system smaller? What has change?
1. Sadly, you may have missed out on some of the recent happenings on the forum. We hired 009.5 to engage in a wee little act of industrial espionage - nothing too Coughlin-esque - but, man, did he come through with the
mother lode! If you ask someone (nicely) in a PM, maybe they'll share some of the findings from this top-secret design manifesto with you. (I haven't personally seen anything yet, but there's a rumor circulating that it was hand-written by Adrian Newey himself!)
2. No, we can't assume anything. If anyone does, there's inevitably some prick around here somewhere who sits atop a veritable high horse and asks condescending questions that imply all assumptions are nothing but foolhardy acts of intellectual laziness. So we must remain vigilant in our application of scientific rigor. No exceptions.
EDIT: I thought mine was a lot funnier when there wasn't a line of like-minded thoughts following it.
