Default Down Force Total -- CR wing or GTC200 ?

does anyone know what spoiler will have more down force -- the CR wing or the GTC200 ?

Might be obvious ? but I am just throwing this question out there... I am not sure so - any help would be great

Or ... maybe someone has experince running both?

Please let me know what you know / think

thanks so much!

If you were going to pick between the two... what do you pick and why?

what has more downforce?

I remember reading a thread a while back saying the CR seem to produce more and will deform your trunk if not reinforced like the CR trunk is.

the APR is a more effective wing than the CR wing.

It depends on the wing area, the AoA, and the coefficient of downforce...aka it depends on how you angle the APR.

The CR wing does not create net downforce. It reduces lift by 70%.

The APR wing creates net downforce...but I am not sure how much.

If you "need" net downforce then go APR.


Both wings can and will deform the stock trunk lid if they are not properly reinforced.

The cr wing is quite heavy vs a comparable aftermarket gt wing so the trunk should be reinforced accordingly, hell you can lean on the trunk wrong and dent it.

If you are a hardcore track competition person going for absolute lap time and like tinkering with your setup and don't mind getting things wrong, and you have a secure place to park your car, I would get the APR or voltex or similar.

If you are just getting started on driving at the track, you have one of the CR colored cars, you daily drive your car and don't particularly enjoy monkeying around with AOA, element height, gurney flaps and end plates then go with the cr wing.

For me the ap2 went from vague highspeed rear end feel that would snap around without any warning to composed and slower rotating rear end with the cr wing.
