Aftermarket rear wing advise

Since the red beast is going to 640 or 700 hp she needs a little visual excitement. I want a new rear wing but it MUST still rise and fall like the factory wing, just bigger!

I really like the Gemball wing on Ken's car and that is how I am leaning. Anyone know the cost including paint and install? Any others to consider?

No fixed wings allowed.

Thanks

buddy,

If you are really going to produce 700 hp, you better consider a wing like the GT2 or Techart Rear Spoiler II.

Chad,

Please expound on your comment. Obviously you are looking for more downforce. But you don't think the Gemballa wing works? Comments please and thank you.

buddy,

I have no experience with the Gemballa wing before it goes into the up position. The stock turbo wing does not get up fast enough for my car. The down force is simply not there in time. It takes too long for it to get into position to be effective soon enough. I can't imagine any of the after market wings which are simply larger bolt on's doing the job. I could be wrong.

Also the GT2 wing kinda helps intake air from either side with those slits. Funtional...

Chad,

Can't you just use the switch to lift the wing into the up position?

Also, I went to the techart site and I don't see a rear spoiler II only rear spoiler one. Do you have a photo? Is the type II just a GT2 knockoff?

Also, the Gemballa wing does have air intakes in the side. Look at KPV's photos.

Thanks
