The way i see it. Down the 1/4 mile you're either not fast enough to see the effect. Or if you are that fast down the 1320 then you probably have enough power to not give a sh*& about a little bit of drag.

 

yea i had mine off for like a day and u can def feel the difference. id recomend taking it off and get the feel then decide for yourself. the only real benifit i noticed was quieter ride but lik i said i put mine back one.

 

better hwy gas mileage w/out the wing?

 

The wing is there for a reason, to provide downforce, but at the same time you are not going to notice that much of a difference driving at highway speeds. You should only notice it when travel at 100+mph. Check out this video, it a member from MLR doing a high speed run in a standing mile, at the end of the run he lifts his foot off the accelerator to slow down and the car goes into a spin at 183mph. He had taken the spoiler off for this run to try and get a few more mph in the run but spun because of it not being there.

Here is a picture for you also of Simon Norris Evo doing a high speed run. Think he was doing approx 180mph when this photo was taken, check out the bend on the rear spoiler

Vortex gen doc from mitsu:
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/cor...004/16E_03.pdf

There is some data in there about the wing and I believe there is a doc in that section specifically about the wing also, but I can't find it right now. There is a doc on the gourney flap and zero lift stuff somewhere also.

Either way, tons of threads on this. Se....

 

Ya - I have the vortex generator document; was there one that specifically related to the wing?

I'm not finding that particular tech doc through the search.

 

in that video that guys is lucky, i though he was gonna flip when he hit th grass half with the tarmac,

 

What if you use a rear diffuser, will that put enough down force on the rear?

 

Diffusers can't create downforce, they just remove lift.

Rexpeed makes a note about mitsu testing for the gurney flap that says 14kg (30.86lb) more downforce at 180km(112mph)

I think you are thinking about a flat underbelly removing lift.. Diffusers can create downforce... Anyways isn't the opposite of lift, downforce? So anything thing that removes downforce creates lift and vice versa?

 

Technically there is no such thing in physics as "downforce", the term is actually negative lift. Maybe that helps?

 

If you draw a free body diagram... it would be adding a normal force to the car (downforce) Rear diffusors in every sense of the word generate downforce.

Revived from the dead. need to get back to work. sorry :P

 

blah to wings
