That's crazy that the vg actually is functional! I thought it was just something for look! I wonder if aftermarket ones for the viii are just as functional?

If not wind tunnel tested could mess up the areo of the car design? Damn! Another worthless piece on my car! Lol! What about the apr canards?

You would probably be very surprised how little variance it takes to drastically alter the performance/effect of aerodynamic devices.
Grant it it's at a totally different level than your average streetcar/racecars but, we fight everyday for something as small as .010" on things like splitter height because they are that critical to the aero balance of the car.

If you want to try for more top end ... lose the canards before the wing.

I tried yesterday with wing and without.
With wing 253km/h without 258km/h (161mph), it's about 3mph difference. Without wing was car after 230km/h+ much harder to drive, not recommended for newbie.

If you read up on the changes between the VII and VIII (&IX) the differences in aero parts are always increased in a more efficient way. The wing on the VII VS the VIII for example are improved aerodynamically, and not for esthetic reasons, as many people think. I guess that's the reason it's called an Evolution.
