For Belatti who asked for such a comparison . It would take some time to finish this project but i will keep posting every new photo-comparison picture that i finish .

I will try to point out mainly the differences between Honda RA106 2006 car and Super Aguri SA07 2007 car which shares the same chassis .

I posted before that Williams would be my last photo comparison project for 2007 but i could not refuse to modbaraban and Belatti kind requets ....

Those mirrors look pretty similar to me!

funnily enough i noticed at the last race that SA had changed the mirrors from Hondas originals.

MIRRORS 2

You can clearly see the difference now

Thank you very much bar555!

As I told you in my PM, it would be nice to have a comparison between this 2 cars (and the same with RBR 06´ - Toro Roso 07´).

The idea came to me after reading this:

An important subject for the future of F1 tech regulations.

I think it would be better to point out the differences and similarities between RBR 03 2007 and Torro Rosso STR02 because both cars have the same Andrian Newey's chassis .
RBR 02 2006 is a completely different car compared to STR02 .
I will begin this new project (photo comparison between RBR 03-STR02 2007) soon .......

The shape of the nosecone seems to be different as well? Or is it just down to angle of the shot taken?

Its the same car - you are in effect comparing RA106 with RA106 evo.

look at the early season car and compare it with the late RA106 - identical

Both cars have identical nose cone ends .Just different shot angle of the photos

You are right (same car yes but not identical) but i have to disagree about a few things. For the very first moment SA07 had different airbox , different sidepod vanes(i will post an analogous picture of this ) and never had a nose cone hole . The different mirrors had not been presented during winter testing but are used since the first race in Australia . Of course since Australia many aero parts were altered such as front and rear wing , T wings etc

SHARK GILLS

In some races were absent in both cars . There presence depends on the cooling needs ( hot climate , engine cooling needs defers from track to track )
