very impressed by the snow picture. It really is amazing what aerodynamic enginering can do. I am a radar and micro elecetronic technician but I am still new to the car scene and amazed everyday by what i see in the car world.

Sorry, i know im late to the party. This thing looks SO COOL! Can someone point (link) me to the downforce numbers?
PWJDM: Will you guys sell the kevlar one for a bit cheaper? That's alot of cash for us poor folks.
Edit: Actually, that's just a lot of money.

^ thanks for the stalk pictures.
Awaiting the dry carbon wider vented fenders. Our dry carbon hood is similar to the ASM but the vent is larger, and additional vents are located over the battery and master cylinder

I have one problem with this...
The function of this product is to improve aerodynamic efficiency of the race car on the track (smooth out the flow under the car => increase undercar flow velocity => decrease air pressure under the car => more downforce). So I can definately see it's advantage on the track.
Given that this product is used to it's full potential on the track, it is plausable to assume that the driver who can extract all of the advantages this product has will be driving the car at it's limit. Driving the car at the limit will lead to some off track excursions.
Without the product you can just drive back on track and shake all the grass off and be ok. With the pruduct installed one would risk loosing 2K$ with just one of those incidents. I dont think even most of the profeccional race teams can affor that liability.
So why not make it out of something more affordable?

This is a great product but not necessarily a "professional race team" product IMO. Pro racers would probably custom build their ground effects. Yes race damage is expensive but the upside to winning is sponsorships.
