I took of my stock 2 post spoiler today, and i noticed a HUGE difference in the way the car feels at speeds above ~60 mph. Lighter? More unstable than before? does anyone else feel that difference or is it mind over matter?

I did read your aerodynamics thread just a few moments ago playr. It was very informative, and like i said, it defines what aerodynamics are and how they function, which i have a decent handle on it think.

That's fine if you don't think you felt a difference. thats all i was really asking in this thread.

But as i said before we don't have solid evidence (unless you do.. ) against the wing being functional besides all of us going back and forth saying "sure it makes a difference" or "no it does not", and that i am insane, which i'm not denying as a possibility either, lol.

I did find this link some time ago and an engineer from TTE is describing the functionality of the wing on the celica, but I don't quite understand what he is saying regarding the downforce, if he means to say that the wing in the low position (2 post) gives 5 times 50kg of downforce vs the gt4 wing, or does he mean the other way around? Or is he making crap up? lol. If you could clarify that if you understand it i would be grateful.

"We are expecting to sell around 2500 examples in Japan alone with the pieces in place. The amount of downforce is influenced byride height and we still have to carry out wind tunnel tests, but it's expected that there will be 50 kg of downforce at 100 kph with the wing in the up position, and maybe five times more than that with the wing at the low position."

But once again, he is speculating, they intended to do wind tunnel tests, no solid results.
