With the arrival of the SA aero package, does anyone have lap times or comparisons, pre/post aero upgrades?

If the honda and the arrows had a baby, this would be it
Its got its fathers engine and its mothers nose.

i dont think they have done a bad job if you look at the time frame and the chassis they where working from.
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

You know what?
I have to agree and give them some credit.

The car looks very streamlined at the back, and much cleaner aerodynamicly. The sidepods lower nicely to below the top wishbones like all the other current cars. It is much more up to date.

The main flaw remains that big bulge behind Taku's shoulders that looks like a grocery storage compartment. :?

Not bad at all!
Will it be enough? I think not. :roll:
Honestly and obviously... and honestly.

i think that it is incredible to think thats not thier new car! i mean what a difference! natrually im not expecting them to be front runners.... yet but i truly belive that they will be up there eventually (3-5 seasons? assuming that the championship hasn't been abandoned or they've just left lol) especially when they have proved the world what they can do after a few months.

as for the lumps next to the drivers head wouldn't they be more aerodynamic than the parts all f1 cars have there due to the rules? i dunno just a thought. :D

OMG seriously F1 teams need to get more creative with their liverys, ANOTHER team red and white, nothing like being original ](*,) , i know they are related to Honda but really all the teams are beginning to become the same, we got the 2 red bulls, the 3 red and white cars (toyota, Honda & SA) the only teams that are different are Mclaren and Renault :cry:
Vote 1 for GPs back in Adelaide

Personally, I beieve the main flaw is the bulge ON Taku's shoulders.
But this new development of SA represents a lot of hard work by many nameless technicians. Gotta give credit where it is due, and they have worked wonders.

To be fair I think livery is the last thing on Super Aguri's mind!

That's done! Montagny has just being confirmed for third driver duties. That's a good thing for him to be able to stay in F1, but I don't think he can see his futur here with SA, knowing the "nationalist" spirit of the japanese team, he'll never have a race seat...

I agree, Japanese teams like Honda, Toyota, and SA would love to win any title with a Japanese car, engine, tires, and driver. And we must never froget SA was born out of Honda's reaction to Japanese fans. That is the real market they are catering to, and targeting.
