QUOTE(john914somers @ May 23 2013, 05:26 PM)  I'm just wondering if the ducktails do anything to help the aero induced grip??? Any thoughs would be cool!!! Thanks Thanks for opening this question up again....had the same concern myself as Kermee starts to do a bit of side to side "dancing" at about 120mph on the long straights at VIR where I'm topping out at about 130 or so. The "wiggle" is, I'm guessing, coming from aero turbulence. Here's a couple of pics of the spoiler and the front also, which doesn't have a splitter. Wondering what might be done to settle things down a bit..... Ok...update....I went with the Sheridan front spoiler and it fits nicely...see pic below. On my first track day at VIR I found quite a bit of handling change at high speeds, particularly with more "bite"on steering inputs such as on the climbing esses.....those shaved RA1'S gave a LOT of movement for a smaller steering input than before. I'm attributing that to the increased loading on the front with the spoiler. Wow! Still have a bit of"dancing"or "jigging" at 125 plus on the straights...but not really scary.
