real wings and splitters


AJ

Recommended Posts

ALL cars need downforce on the track, even FWD cars. A wing like this would still be every bit as functional on a FWD car.

 

i think he ment since the cars that you see on the street have never been to a track.

 

Spoken like a true racer :)

1. AJ, that first car you posted may have a wing on it, but 100.00 bucks says its never seen a track/race

 

2. splitters and wings if done right can look as good as they help perform.

 

 

The nagain, function vs. fashion is always going to be an ongiong thing. Some cars look "unusual" but function much better than soemthing that looks JGTC but sucks.

 

 

When I think of Function... i think of this guy.... car used to be white.

SHUT UP... seriously.

 

What's rice are the clear turn signals on your fucking truck.. A carbon fiber GT wing on a track car, actually serves a purpose. :gtfo:

 

ok wow picking on clear parking lights. thats all you got. ok wee i have clear parking lights in a 8 sec truck. wooptie fucken doo. and clear lights on trucks came out arround or before your ricer ones did. ive seen clear brakes and turns on s10s since the 80s. evan at one time had tinted blue red green yellow and pruple ones.(not dot legal) that ive seen in every truckin magazine.

 

im shure your gay pride flag on your toyota serves a purpose too!!

 

i understand the wings purpose. i know the concept of aerodynamics. i just choose to defy them. and go with boxy vehicles with no spoilers or downforce. fuck it. shits fast right.

he said he was building a vintage racer. vintage racer is cool with a vintage wing. but thats

my opinion.

Surprised no one has brought this time attack car up yet. Nothing like trying to keep 800+ FWHP on the ground. Dunno how that would be driving, but hey.

I remember reading about this car a few years ago in one of my old car mags. From what I remember the thing is a beast on the track and cost them like nothing to build. If I am right I has also won its fair share of time attack events taking out some serious cars along the way. On a side note I have never had a problem with wings and splitters as long as they some what flow with the car and dont look like alot of the primered pos hondas running around on steelies with a wing and a fart can on the back. Hell when I was thinking of getting a lsx swapped rx7 I was gonna run a wing, splitters and what not for the extra downforce. But at the sametime look at the new zo6 its a 200 mph car and it doesn't require a wing to tear it up at the track either.

good news and bad news. the good news, the camaro i posted with the wing has indeed seen alot of track time. the bad news, the camaro you posted has not seen any track time. it was built as a CP autocross car, thats the only track time its seen.
