![]() I am definitely with you on this one. For sure these canards cannot withstand the 100's of pounds of downforce like the GT500 cars can. I am a bit of a track junkie personally and when it comes to tracking daily drivers, I look at downforce the same way I do weight savings...every little bit helps ![]() This is all speculating of course but lets say I have a 370Z that I want to track. I get a front diffuser that generates 60 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph, front canards that generate 30 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph, rear diffuser that generates another 60 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph, and a rear wing that generates 100 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph. By itself, these products don't benefit your car that much; add it all up and you have an additional 250 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph. I bet that would make a huge difference on the track (depending on what kind of track you are at ). The crazy thing is, I still have the options to go with vortex generators, side diffusers, front spoiler, and/or another set of front canards, or rear canards...so as far as my car goes I can really improve the car's performance simply by adding small amounts of downforce here and there. After that, I still have weight savings, performance mods, suspension/chassis; by the time I finish, this 370Z could be a force to reckon with on the track. Again, this is my personal perspective on downforce so feel free to take it with a grain of salt ![]() -Hunter Last edited by 370Ztune; 08-24-2009 at 05:48 PM. |
