      active rear wing

      I thought this was really cool and wanted to put it up here. There are some really race worthy rides here and thought they might want something like this.

      thats pretty cool, but how much help is that at that slow of speeds. i was told that wings like that really only help at high speeds 60+mph?

      All depends on wing profile and angle of attack. Remember that small airplanes take off @ 60-80 mph.

      Would prolly have more drag then downforce. I watched a whole video on the Veyron about the wing going down on a high speed run as to reduce drag at 150+ mph

      The typical rule is that for every double in mph the aerodynamic effect go up by a multiple of 4. If you think you need to go fast to get downforce try this little experiment. Take a piece of 4x8 plywood. Put it over your head and run with it at a slightly down angle. then raise it slightly until it come to horizontal. And then watch the airflow rip it from your hands.all at a running pace. BTW I loved this wing untill I looked at the price.

      not much to add about the wing, but holy crap you spent way too much time on your sig
      72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.

      '70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.
