"Performing the maneuver requires a full brain reflash" refering to the no lift shift feature. i thought it was gonna be a feature that could be used at any time, not something that has reprocusions of having to stop by the dealership to fix every time you blast off.

So if you go to the dealer for a "Brain Reflash" would you even remember going to the dealer in the first place?

Cool info, especially the downforce statistics! Now I can justify my huge god-awful park bench wing (I don't like it, but it came with the car)--not that I'll actually be taking it to 100mph+ any time soon to test their data :P

Most important part of the entire article...

at 70 mph, it generates 23 pounds of downforce. At 120 mph, that rises to 68.7 pounds, and at the top speed of 155 mph the number is 115 pounds. Lose the wing, though, and top speed rises to a drag-limited 160 mph. Everything has its trade-offs.
