It's 180KPH, or about 112MPH..anyway here is the short version for VG.





At 112MPH/ rear downforce: +2KG =35%
Air resistance (CD) 1.1% off

The front canards make a difference also.

I get it, I bought the evo wing and VG strip because I kind of like the cartoonish look. Nothing wrong with having fun!

I bought some of these off ebay for $20. They just add a cool contrast to the car (I have a blue and black color scheme)
