Re: SVX without a wing

Hella pretty car!
I saw your other wing vids and I will just say that if it makes you happy then good for you.
Personal experience tells me that my car w/o a wing isn't that safe at higher speeds. W/ the spoiler on I feel safe yanking on the wheel at 70+ mph. W/O it on the car would slide the rear out in an un-safe manor. I hope you get some positive results from your wing/spoiler trials.

Re: SVX without a wing

I do not beleive my new wing, the original wing, or any aftermarket wing on the SVX helps with performance.

Had that thread before and there is fact to displace any placebo effect you may think exists.

Anthony, please keep any disrespectful comments about any members, past or present to yourself as it is a rules violation.

Re: My new custom wing. What a freakin ordeal.

well, the change is a start...
I still see "SuperBird", which is inconsistent with the whole SVX persona...
I think if you cut it down by ~6 inches you might be there.
How close is the front edge's "angle" to that of the rear edge of the door? My visual sense says they have to match.

Re: SVX without a wing

Now, that's a good looking car. Welcome back to the fold.
Actually, I had no problem with what you were doing beacuse it was reversible, and it is your car.

I concur with this. The factory spoiler is in fact, an airfoil.
