xB vs. Wind

So I was driving today, and it was very windy out... So windy that if I took my hand off of the steering wheel for a second it would have blown me right off the road.

Boxes are not aerodynamic.

^true..... even mine gets tossed all over the road when its windy

yeah it was a little windy this morning here and i got blown around pretty good....but remember...don't jerk the wheel trying to compensate, just roll with it and you'll be fine...two hands!!!

It's a little better if the box is lowered and has a rear sway bar. But basically it has the worst aerodinamics especially when it comes to sidewind.

i have never had any problems... i have a strut bar... i dont know if that does anything and tee-are-deez... i know what it is... u need a spoiler!!!! lol

obviously your car isn't set up right, you need multiple hood scoops, a gimungo wing, some roof scoops, and a splitter at the bottom.. but on a serious note... our cars werent made for aero dynamics, thats y the xA gets better gas milage

xA = better gas milage

xB = mo mods, mo fun, mo friends.....
we lookin good goin nowhere.
