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?     |

My car is 5 MPH faster with wing and air dam than without and a heck of a lot more stable. Also bumped MPG so it's really not a fluke. Real air foils don't need a huge angle of attack to be effective.
Yes this very same wing mounted on a civic hatch with 10 degrees of angle slowed his car down 7 MPH. I run my wing about 2 or 3 degrees high speed 100 + and crank it up high for Autocross. It has lees effect under 60 MPH. |
