Does driving without a belly pan adversely affect aeordynamics?

Default Be careful, at highway speeds the car tends to lift off the ground!

TNT--attacks!

Default agreed. after just getting mine back on this weekend

after its year vacation in boston mass. my car is much happeir at highway speeds with it on.
in the winter i believe it has a protective factor too against salty wetness. i noticed more corrosion around the oil filter this year than in years previous. but maybe because this winter i drove the car and previous winters it has sat in a tuners parking lot ?>0

Default I've been driving since the winter with only half of the plastic belly pan...

The missing half got torn off in deep snow due to my impractically low ride height. I don't think it affects aerodynamics at all, but I'm not experienced with flying pigs.
