Wind Tunnel Testing

More air under the wing is good. Although some down force is created by redirecting the air and pushing it upwards most if created by the pressure difference between the top and the bottom of the wing. More air under = faster velocity = lower pressure, while above the wing has higher pressure. And since everything goes from high to low the wing wants to be pushed down.


Maybe these guys are mis-informed
I am no expert in aerodynamics either. And I'm not really sure what you meant. But I did run quick Google search and it seems there is no definite answer to which principle (Bernoulli=pressure diff. Newtonian=force of redirected air) creates more lift/down force.
And it looks like that Audi has a lot cleaner air and the same effect can be had with the Evo if you just raised the streamlines upward a little bit. Another thing is that the higher the wing is the cleaner and faster the air is; because the evos rear windshield angle creates turbulence and slows down the air lowering the wing would lessen the amount of down force created. And Mitsuu knows that the rear windshield created turbulence too so they created the vortex generators to try and reduce it.
Again, I'm no expert but I do like to talk out of my ass and read books.
