Oh I got noooo problem with someone going fast, remember I had a low 11 sec Fire Bird that could run flat out to almost a certified 190 mph but even at that speed I didn't need CF canards!

Seriously tho if you like them its YOUR car so go for it!

I know its physics, but the aerodynamics on this particular car. Now if the time attack Cobalt has it then more power to you

yea but ur talking about RWD on a heavy ass car...im talking about a powerful FWD that the front is gonna be light...hence the reason why its ok to have a system in a classic car lol...and since they dont make heavy heat exchangers for this problem and i damn sure aint gonna put lead in my bumpers i was thinking of using mother nature lol...they would be strickly for button willow lol...the road course near here..

RICE.... nah!
Carnards are used on quite a few racing cars and ARE functional, if put on correctly! Too much angle and they'll cause drag, too little angle and they are useless! I would think they could make quite a difference at 50 mph and up

Did you ever get them and put them on? Pics?

off the top of my head...
the Suzuki XL7 'Pikes Peak' Special uses them

all the DTM cars use them

At 180+ mph and 11 seconds at 140 mph a RWD heavy ass car gets light as **** in the front! T-R-U-S-T ME! Also don'tforget the 72 Fire Bird is as aerodynamic as a cinder block!

I think canards look alright... but I'd rather see them painted than CF.
