Z-Power GT Wing

Mike

I have to say, the worst thing about it is cruising on the highway.

Just going along, minding my own business, keeping right except to pass, and a car comes up quick, then parks on my back bumper gawking and taking cell phone pics, all the while me coming up on slower traffic and wanting to get over. that is very frustrating.

Lol I don't think many people in this thread understand the point that they are functional... No one here is trying to "rice" there car...

Mike, Bullitt and Anthony. Thanks for your inputs

There was a time when splitters, wings, aero, and carbon fiber parts were only seen on real race cars. As the race scene spilled over onto the streets and gave rise to tuners these parts were translated into a style. A style based on the mimicking "race cars" and their parts which served a functional purpose not a style. In this translation this function was mostly lost since they only served to mimic and give the impression of race car. So splitters became lips. Canards became triangles screwed into the side of front bumpers, rear diffusers became bumpers that actually act like parachutes. Wings were put on riced out cars the wrong way creating lift, vents that led to nowhere. etc. When you actually care about cutting seconds off your lap time you actually start sacrificing look for function and honestly stop caring about what the other part of the car scene thinks.

Lol guys guys the point of this thread was not to bash civic drivers but to help determine if my z, now as my track toy, would really benefit from the ings+1. I am planning on starting with instruction then move to light track duty with it... I already know I'm not going pro lol. Just trying to figure out if it is worth it for the downforce.

I just don't want to buy the ings+1... and realize it is not enough downforce. Does no one have #s on the force it adds? I know I've seen a few of them on Z's in the forum.

I say your best bet is to take your car out to the track. As your skill grows and you begin to out drive your car then add what you need. I say put the money on suspension and brakes. If you've done that a good bucket seat to use when you are on the track.

kkruel55

Ya brakes and suspension are next I am just already seeing a lack of downforce at 100 mph+. Don't tell the Houston cops!

Its even Nissan compatiable

i think the big issue is that all big wings are lumped in as rice just because people used to throw any old wing up. Some big wings do look good even if they arent used for function. So big wings can look good, they can be functional and they can be rice. People who think they are only for one thing are the problem... plus forgetting the biggest factor of all... personal opinion. for E.G I love that Z-Power Wing this OP posted about. Would I get it for the looks yes. Would I get it for the functionality.. well if its functional too great. Thats my opinion.. on my car.



So call all big wings rice = your just jumpin on the hate train and dont know any better.

Also if you dont have a big wing where else would that girl be??

kkruel55

I think she only adds 130 lb or so of downforce... not to mention a lot of drag lol, not that I would mind the wing addition OR the car...

Does it come with the extra option shown or is that just a GT-R option?

Do you have anything helpful to add to this thread?
A good quality discussion is happening about something people are interested in and you are just trolling it.

I find this thread informative, and would like to ask all who have nothing to add positive to not comment. This is the tech section so left the B.S. in the general discussion section. Thank You.
