what do you mean by "more effective"? you mean faster lap times? yes, i want that, BUT without adding too many other mods to my car. (currently i have springs, sway bars, and front control arms). i dont go to more than about 2 events per month at most and want to keep it relatively comfortable for a daily driver. i've had 2 240sx's and 3 miata's that are very track-biased in the set-up. my relatively stock and comfortable 370z is a nice change.

i'm not looking for more mechanical grip. (the single best mod for that would be r-compounds, wich would require me to go to a stiffer suspension, to fully utilize.) i dont want to do at this point. the added mechanical grip would worsen fuel starvation (which i'm already having) and other issues.

what i AM looking for is a more settled car on high speed corners (t1 at sow, t8 at big willow, roval at autoclub speedway, etc. etc.). that's why i'm asking for comments from people who are running wings on their z's.

most of the miata guys are seeing about 1.5-2 second reductions in their lap times (depending on track) with wings on. i'm convinced of their effectiveness (esp. in combination with diffusers, splitters and other aero mods). what i need more info on is what's available for the z.

mike's car (with the kognition wing) definitely felt more planted going through the chicane and t1 at sow than my car. he said he was having some issues with his car and didnt know what kind of times he was running.
