Love the cars, but the wing is little much for me, but if it's a track car then it might get used

Yes the M3 is the DD. As far as the ergonomics of the car and room it is much more comfortable. Especially sitting in traffic for 30 minutes. However I track both cars actually, mostly the S2k, but I do use both at the track.

Law - I never realized it came in different flap sizes! This is quite interesting...the wing was bought used so I took it for granted that the GT wings were all the same! Thanks for the informing Did you get this much negative energy from your wing? At the past two shows and three meets and two track events I have gone to, everyone enjoyed the wing and the fact of its functionality and how you can adjust it to your required downforce. Yet here on teh forums it is being bashed like no tomorrow, lol.

Radcliffe1 - Good pun sir.

VersionJDM - A bit...harsh.


I figure I need to take a pic of the car with the wing off, usually people like the wing on

No problem whatsoever, we all are entitled to our opinions

I had a track event this weekend so I will be taking the wing off sometime this week and snapping a few pics to get the general public the feel and flow of the car without it. Never realized such a quality and functional part could come into fire this abruptly!

Different strokes for different folks ! theres always positive and negative feedbacks we just need to live with it ... if they just look at the quality of the wing... its really amazing... plus its really functional... check this out from cwest website...

The wing is really light and its made out of carbon fiber... and I can tell the difference from the time that i installed the wing...

Indeed, the quality of the wing is what had me sold, it was not some cheap knock off from e-bay, it is a very precise carbon fiber achievement. Also, you can really tell a difference in the settings almost immediately. Plus do a few laps around the track, come back, and readjust and you can tell a difference!

That is pretty interesting about the link you gave me, shows that a few lbs of down force can do a lot to a car!

Is that Z3 a 1.9? Kinda looks like it cuz the rear fenders are not too wide. My gf has a Z3 1.9 and we are debating on starting to mod it or not.
