You won't believe me if I explained the technicalities of aero downforce on the vehicle at 30mph. Perhaps you should ask another aerodynamics engineer.
You quoted 30 mph, so would the downward force be .5 lb, 5 lb, or 50 lb at that speed? What is the downward force at 30 mph?

Figure it out for yourself, genius, and then share with us your findings.
F = 0.5 * A * coeff * ro * v^2
F = 0.5 * A * coeff * ro * v^2
F = 0.5 * A * coeff * ro * v^2 = RICE
just messing. anyway, i have both a 07 base and a 08 CR, and yesterday i put some good miles on the CR. all i can say, is it is much stiffer then the base. where the base can be considered "taught", the CR is downright stiff. this is not bad over smoother roads, but damn there is a big difference on the bumpy ones. i had to stop a few times to pee, and am considering the purchase of a kidney belt...

So much bull shit in here. CR or base don't mean shit if you don't know how to drive or handle the car. Just because you drive a sport car that doesn't make u a pro driver or even any good at it. How many of you in here can honestly say "I can drive my car to it full potential base on my skill level"? I know for a fact that most of us s2k can't even use 75% of our car potential. I been on enough s2k drives/track days to know only a few of us can actually use the car full potential.

No need for you to jump in and said I assumed. Read first and comprehend it.
