Bentley -

Mega Temp insulation?

*******

Anybody have a picture of the underbody of the GT3 or GT2? Those panels that Porsche, Ferarri, and Lambo use for "underbody air flow control" would be a good addition if they are not too complex.

Bell mentions something about radiator placement in the canted forward position - I will have to look at that.

From what I can gather from the website MS, Its a spray on material that turns kinetic energy (vibration) into potential energy, or something like that. And there is also this blurb about a nuclear flash, which I am not TOO worried about. If its lighter than stock fire wall sound absorbing material, and I can fill in the really loud panels with brown bread, then this is the ticket. While the sound is important, the heat from certain body panels really makes you wish for the stock material and carpet. If this mega stuff can make sure that heat does not conduct as much, and its not like buying gold by the ounce, then I am a customer.

Mega-Temp Insulation [at 1 millimeter thick] would be applied under the headliner, on the floor, on the kickpanels, firewall, trunk, wheel wells, etc. This material has been used for similar purposes [heat control, acoustic reduction, and flame restriction] on aircraft and the like by the U.S. Government and others for almost a quarter century!
Certainly, Ford Motor Company should consider it to prevent further State Troopers from being burnt to death in their police cars which had been rear-ended. Anybody concerned about such accidents IN ANY VEHICLE would be wise to consider it [especially if you 'lead foot it'].
