Default Re: Hydroplaning

the spoiler should (based on my poor assumptions and calculations) add a downforce of approximately 20 lbs at 40 mph, 40 lbs at 60 mph, and 80 lbs at 80 mph. so at 50 mph there's around 25 lbs of down force. that's not a lot of weight, but it might be enough to have some small positive effect on hydroplaning resistance.
