Aston Martin
Proudly supports terrible french cars
My guess will be that you can google the 997 and know exactly how it will look.
Or a 1938 Beetle?

I think it looks good so far. Good thing that they reverted back to the door mounted mirrors...
why do you want to put a spoiler on a road car road cars dont go fast enough to generate meaningful downforce in corners and it will just slow it down on the straights
I'm by no means an expert, but I'm sure there's more purpose to the wing on a GT3 RS then "Hurr, I look fast, durr." At road-legal speeds it won't make any sense obviously, but it should help at a track day.
Nah. Downforce is a square of road speed. You need to be going 80+ (at best, in reality probably more like 95+) in the corners before the wing does anything more than add poundage. And it's still slowing you down on the straights.
Lemmie put it to you this way. Spec Miatas are the fastest cornering production cars in SCCA with sticky Hoosiers. They don't have wings.
I mean, you're talking Pouhon or Blanchimont type speeds before you get any noticeable difference, on road cars. And again, it's still slowing you down on the straights and making you easier to pass.
Remember the Viper ACR? "1,000 pounds of downforce at 150 MPH!" they said. What they didn't mention is the drag far outweighs any benefit. And the ZR-1, with no wing, is still just as fast. And the ACR is adjustable and much harder and stiffer.
I suppose it may very well be slower. However, shouldn't it at least make the car a little more stable so that the average 911 buyer (Who probably has very little or no racing experience) can keep it out of the guardrails, especially considering the rear-engine layout?
That's my point...I want to see the inevitable "this is mostly just a street legal race car" versions. :lol:why do you want to put a spoiler on a road car road cars dont go fast enough to generate meaningful downforce in corners and it will just slow it down on the straights
o well it looks cool so i guess its okay
