Hey guys i was sitting around and thinking about mods to add to my car cause i'm bored and i thought how cool would it be to make a custom electric rising spoiler, for example under heavy acceleration, high speed and braking it would rise up for down force. Any ideas on this?

08' 2.4L Cobalt SS S/C
Gen 3 block fully built
ZZP supercharger stage 2
150 shot of nitrous (Direct port system)
Haven't dyno yet but its around 380WHP - 400Whp is what i'm estimating with my current build
(Just finished the build 2 days ago xD)

 

Forget silly spoilers. You're not RWD.

I would like to hear more about your build though.

 

Spend the money on the dyno.
Wanna see that!

 

Theres no dynos in my area :/ The build right now is super stable from driving it so far, i will be make a trip from oregon to oklahoma here in a few weeks with the car(: i thought the spoiler might make it more sporty like custom stuff lol --------------
the entire build so far has cost me 10,000$
the cars fast now i want to make it look good and do some custom stuff haha

 

You would be doing it purely for aesthetics and not function. Unless you have access to a wind tunnel and modelling software so you can design the drag and downforce points. Then you would have to write some kind of software so that it knows to lift under heavy acceleration and braking.

 

Would be neat to see but yea pointless.

make some custom front splitters that use wind to rotate maybe!

x2 on seeing that build

 

I would just have it pop up when the speedo hits 55mph. Easy enough to write code for that.

 

Agent 47 did one for a 03/04 Cobra. It was pretty neat.

 

Not worth the effort. put the money into suspension mods. That will help you more

 

Rear spoliers help front wheel drive cars as well.... ie. on a road course/track.

but I agree, not worth the effort or money. Better off using that for go fast mods.

 

Cool idea, but yeah not worth the time or money.

 

Where are you in oregon?

 

hahaha nice one of the gray gods of PA clocked them.....well I mean I would have done the same thing if I was on duty. I don't work for state tho, I am local so I don't have radar : (

 

Well maybe if James Bond ever drives a Cobalt

 

On a somewhat cool car, yes. On a Cobalt, ghey.
