wing comments, rear wing Options

[Glenn832]

This is just a fantastic forum! Being quite the newb, forgive me if I'm on the wrong thread. I need some advise and I know that it'll be freely if not copiously given. I like it already!

We've got a '74 that, at the moment, is in pieces. It's a street/track (little more focus on the track) baby that is getting some minor additions to help with high speed stability. One is the addition of a rear wing. There are two choices. As you can see from the pics, it's not pretty but at this point that's not the point.

What do you think about aerodynamics/functionality and also aesthetics?

any aero device mounted down on the decklid or a wing that low will have no aero advantage. I had a 6" tall rear spoiler on my car and it was pointless (tho' it looked really cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ).

So, I would just pick whichever you like the looks of as it will be aesthetic only. Without any additional aero devices such as vortex generators across the rear of the decklid, any wing needs to 1) have an actual foil shape, and 2) be mounted within a couple of inches of the roof height. Slightly higher above the roof, the cleaner the air and benefit.
