So how fast can you go until do luck or other trunk lip loses their functionality?

 

I wish I had an answer for you. The tail wing on a Porsche 911 turbo produces 148 lbs of downforce at 90 MPH. Any useable downforce is only going to effect the handling of the car at high speeds. For a car driven on public roads this is not going to be noticed by the driver. Those who drive at higher speeds will notice a difference. The two benchmarks for noticeable downforce changes occur throughout a vehicle's increased velocity but is substantially noticed at 70-90 and 130-150.

The equation is fairly simply and anyone can preform it.

The equation to figure just how much downforce your wings or spoilers have is:

D = 1/2 x (WS x H X AoA) x f x p x v^2

D = Downforce
WS = Wing Span in Meters
H = Height of wing in meters
AoA = Angle of attach (Angle of attack is the angle between the lifting body's reference line and the oncoming flow.)
F = Drag Coefficient
P = Air Density
V= Velocity (speed)

At the end of the day, my cars have always been daily drivers with track time fewer than 5-10 times a year. A car without a spoiler produces less drag on a vehicle.

 

You can't argue there's a nice clean look without the wing,

But I like mine personally

 

According to Mitsubishi's JDM parts catalog, the lip spoiler generates +0/+4kgf at 100km/H and -1/+14kgf at 180km/H (front/rear respectively). They also claim -1.0% CD.

 

wingless

 

Can someone post the link to the Rexspeed spoiler that covers the holes from the OEM wing? The type 1 on their site:

http://www.rexpeed.net/new2007/produ...php?serial=182

says it works with ot without the stock wing, which implies it would not cover the holes.

 

I love the stock wing. It's perfect to me.

 

I like the wing.

 

wingless ftw .

 

Wingless is much sexier....

 

I think we can ALL agree...it's all about personal preference.

 

personal preference. ill leave it on till i get pulled over to many times. buddy in an srt4 changes his wing like every month because he gets bored hah

 

This is probably the reason some people go wingless. Its something different to do. Its a subtle modification, but different..

 

i think if wingless is yer choice then a drop is needed...otherwise the wing fits this car perfect
