Fun find:

We've all seen em, but it's a good reminder of what GT's are running. Funny how 'real' wide body parts fully cover the tires from the fronts yet none of our avail kits do lol.

Yup. Even the APR kit, the tire is exposed from about the mid point down.

Bump from the dead! This was a cool thread and Im bored drinking my Sunday morning coffee.

Sidenote I am switching from a Voltex type 5 wing to a chassis mounted Kognition piece (picked up from the UMS racing Evo for a good deal). Curious to see what it will do for the *** end?

I also hacked up my front fenders a little for a little more flow, Might space them as well. Ultimately going to fit 315's on it later this year.

im curious to see what your thoughts are on voltex vs kognition given the massive lack of data on the voltex.


im just finishing up a diffuser, but it didnt quite go to plan so I think im gonna have a bit more air getting over the top of it than i had originally hoped...

I will definitely keep everyone posted. It should no doubt produce less drag and more downforce for sure.
Post up pics. I wanna do something for the rear but undecided and lazy.
