What would the z look like without side mirrors?
 
Since they are useless anyway is there any benefit to taking these off at all? Would it help with aerodynamics?

You don't use side mirrors? :confused:

These seems perfectly reasonable and legitimate, let's take off those useless things.

I bet we do half a second quicker in the 1/4.

:iagree:
Never use the d.amn things. Hard to wash, too! Taking out the interior rear view mirror as well.

fairladyZ34 08-08-2010 04:23 PM

i scrape all the bugs i kill off my mirrors then fry em all up, lots of protein

Waiz 08-08-2010 08:20 PM

How about you just move them to the fenders and be Old-School JDM?

Maybe they wouldn't be so useless if the mirrors were Miata mirrors

frost 08-08-2010 09:06 PM

According to a statistic I just made up in my head, side mirrors are 80% of a car's drag. You would be foolish if you DIDN'T remove your side mirrors. Get to it.

No! Next question.

Realistically, all mirrors are obstructions which interfere with proper vision.
As well, I use limo tint on the windshield to shield me from the suns glare.
Just common sense!

Why stop at limo tint. Use paint and you could color match your windshield to the body.

I think the whole alien on the hood takes away any aerodynamic gains shaving the review mirrors added

do you think the owner has any problems with board patrol?

WarmAndSCSI 08-08-2010 10:31 PM

...

Yes, please remove them.

However, your Z will simply become too aerodynamic and may open up a wormhole through the fabric of space-time. I'd suggest just garaging it indefinitely after this modification, for everybody's sake.

I see that you're in NJ. Just let me know when you're on the road so that I can stay home during those times .... :ugh:

Speaking of, I only let Michael J Fox make my martinis, because I like them shaken, not stirred.

oooh yeah that's a great idea, I give him my pencil when I need to trace scatter plots.

If you need side mirrors, you're driving way too slow!!! "What's a behind me, dosen't a matter"

tonybui 08-09-2010 11:11 AM

Might as well take off my rear view mirror after the side mirrors, they block my damn view, who cares about what's behind!!

Well I'm driving a Z, So naturally everything is behind......

RCZ 08-09-2010 11:29 AM

You should get rid of your headlights as well, they are completely useless most of the time too... until you need them...then you remember why every single car on the road has them. Just like side mirrors...

Good idea! That would give it the flowing look I'm going for.
I usually just squeeze my eyes shut when hitting the gas anyways, and use the force.
