Hey I could really use some ideas for a wing i can't decide if I want a racing wing or a fiberglass one. Any pics or suggestions would be helpful. Maybe even some pros and cons of both of them. Thanks inadvance

ok, think physics and aerodynamics. when a FWD car is going 100mph the wind pushes the front of the car downward especially on the windsheild. this creates lift towards your rear wheels. with that in mind the rear wheels are not providing the right amount of traction which equals an unbalanced car. a good CF or aluminum wing (not cheap $100 wings but more like test and proven $500-) will give your car a proper balance which equals more traction. NOW the important part, rear wind diffusors are also used in FWD cars along with the CF wing to eliminate any unnecessary downforce. hey we learn someting new everyday. |
