if you want 23 pounds of downforce, put a concrete block in your trunk (or audio equipment like someone said earlier). that way, you have 23 pounds of downforce ALL THE TIME.

very little thought goes into the aerodynamics of the little wings tacked onto the back of most cars. the aerodynamicists testing the stuff have some say as to if it should be included in the design, but it mainly comes down to what's aesthetically pleasing.

 

and they are both tuned by me...

 

ooops, yea your right. he's right. it is. my bad.

 

So CorelJones is tuned... from the sig I assumed he was still on Stg2 tune. You don't beat much with the Stg 2 tune

 

???? i do. and yes it was stage 2 tune. just a little freaky or a little lean

 

I'm confused now. Either you are or you aren't tuned by Raven.

If you are on the STOCK GM STG 2 tune... I don't know how you won... but you OBVIOUSLY won.

I'm am on Stg 2 tune as well, I beat a lot of cars... and I lose to a lot cars, ones that have JUST Intense Stg3. Its all in the tune.

And how are you running lean on the GM Stg 2 tune??? Lean makes more power... but is more dangerous.

 

What the Hell happened here.. I thought we were talking about that HUGE wing... not who tuned what car... and who sucks at driving....

 

Dunno ...

Better than nothing, right?

 

I've been doing some research as it regards rear spoiler/wings.

Here are a few things that I found out:

• Aerodynamically, "spoilers" are different from "wings"
• Spoilers are meant to "spoil" a car's undesirable airflow characteristics
• Adding weight in the trunk will not help to "spoil" a car's bad airflow
• Wings are primarily intended to produce downforce
• Positive Lift/Zero Lift on a car is undesirable
• Regarding weight distribution, cars with engines in the front (fwd OR rwd) are already out of balance
• Our Cobalts have exactly 60% of the weight up front (1776bs front/1183lbs rear)
• Ultimately, the goal is to provide the minimum amount of front/rear downforce needed to stabilize a car (w/o producing excessive drag)

Just FYI ...

 

not if its causing 300lbs in drag...

 

I'm liking the look of your car wingless man.

 

thanks brotha

 

i'd like to know how much downforce the rk sport 3 pc puts down

 

Unless rk has access to a wind tunnel, no way to know.

 

I like the JP Vizage spoiler too.

I'm liking the other way he had it a whole lot better ...

 

if you have enough hp you can go as fast as you damn well please

 

Top Speed is over rated....why would you want down force? the cobalt isn't a 200+mph car

 

Yikes!

That's as close as somebody can come to almost not having a spoiler ... but still having one.

LOL



Cobalt already has 60% of it's weight up front.

We need to have our back end planted too (even on my lowly 150mph + Stage 2).

 

barely there spoiler? hot.

it'd be great to have a little carbon fiber lip (like on the 2005-2006 RSX-S) as a spoiler... something bigger than the itrenz one ^^, but not too big. it'd look great on white cars.

 

Extreme dimensions makes a universal cf lip spoiler that looks just like that JP Vizage one. Im pretty sure its dimensions would work well with a Cobalt trunk.

Nah, im diggin the new wingless looks he's got.

 

i like the wing, i don't go 150 ever so i could care less

 

That's cool bro, was just offering my measly 2 cents ...

LOL

 

yah until you slap on that tvs blower

 

yeah if i do its at a track, the law knows me well around my parts lol
