Trunk lid vs Big wing
#11
That is a very nice wing. I was wondering how high you mounted it. It looks like Voltex has a choice 225mm and 275mm brackets plus an optional 30mm extension bracket. Was the extension bracket necessary to gain adjustability?
According to the spec, the Type 7 has a fairly deep 355mm cord; for reference, according to APR the GTC's max cord is about 305mm. Was it easy to create balancing downforce in the front?
Thanks,
David

ive run the wing with and without a WASP splitter. The splitter helps, but it's not like the car is undriveable without it. Ran last season (shortened due to engine failure) without it. I haven't really had enough points available to get the splitter low enough. This year should be different.
FWIW, my driving preference is for slight understeer vs slight oversteer.

For the wing itself APR sells the wing without mounts (the swan neck GT-250 and both regular and swan Neck GT-1000s are only sold without mounts) or even get them from Simon McBeath who wrote two of the popular books on the topic and had a column in RaceCar Engineering (Simon McBeath - The Wing Shop).

I ordered the CR trunk stoppers (5 pcs) to go with my GTC-200 with risers. I won't know how it works until i install the wing/stoppers and this season starts though(which for me is end of april)---so likely won't help you

We must have done it a little different. I ordered and received 6 pieces (CR trunk parts) to support my trunk. 3 pieces for each side.

Mine never bent and I usually hit 122 on both straights at my track. And i think makes much more down force than urs. My trunk has never bent. But mine is track only. If u street drive on freeway I can see ur trunk getting bent. Besides u don't need a big wang on the streets anyways leave it off.

We will see what happens! My car is also track only. I hit 130mph max at the tracks I go to. Should be interesting. I will also upload video updates.

I need to figure out a way to reinforce the trunk edges on my s. I have a gt250 wing with 14'' risers with larger end plates after some high speed straights the front mounts are cracking the underside of the deck lid. I am pondering filling the edges with panel bond to spread the load. as of now if I take the car up to 130+ I have to bend the deck lid flat afterwards. I don't want the funky battle areo bike rack also don't want to give up my trunk or the ability to drive in the rain. If anyone has ideas I would love to hear it.
