Re: Smaller Rear Spoiler for SRT-6
I'm with the crowd that thinks the wing MAKES the SRT6.
Not only that... there have been several threads on the 'Functionality' of the SRT and Standard wings.
BOTH are functional. The Standard wing, if I remember correctly provides 40 pounds of downforce at 100 MPH. Allowing the car to be more stable over 85 MPH and through the slower twistys we love so much.
The SRT wing provides 120 pounds of downforce at 100 MPH and is ALWAYS there. This verifies what Smokey847 said about the standard wing not deploying quick enough. By the time it came up the car would have been unstable for several seconds... seconds that could cost a driver their life.
The SRT wing WAS designed by the car designers and engineers... notice the continuation of the 'Strakes' in it's shape... the way it wraps around the body.
Just ask HDDP... he put a 'ricer' type wing on his race prepped Crossfire for function alone and it does it's job. Rated at 400 pounds of downforce at 100 MPH. He has been able to carry higher speeds through sweeping turns. Function... function... function.
The SRT wing is form and function. Period.
