is this an exact replica of the gt2 wing? how do we know what the aero-properties on it are? does it provide similar downforce to the stock wing? a LOT more (too much?)? does it cause more drag?

curious minds want to know

 

I would like the answers to these questions as well.

 

Ditto. I suspect most people are putting these wings on for looks and could care less about the performance/stability aspects.

 

Eric, when are you going to clone the GT3 RS cf wing?

 

Holger,
if u want RS wing i have it in stock.

 

This wing is approximately 6-8 pounds lighter (than a regular GT2 wing), but we don't have all the data from the stock wing yet.

It mounts to the riser pipes on the TURBO only at this time.

It is as near a design of the GT2 as possible.

It functions the same as the GT2 wing blade would. And it raises and lowers as the stock Turbo wing blade does.

We have orders in for them now, and about half are painted, half are stock carbon.

It is as slippery as any other carbon product with urethane clear on it, so I would seriously doubt it provides added drag to the vehicle, and again, would function the same way the GT2 blade would.

We don't have a wind tunnel, yet.

Thanks! Hope that answers most of the q's. Email me anytime for more.

Oh, and if there is more interest in the GT3RS wing, just email me.

 

pic please.

would it look too ricey on a TT? have a p-shop sample?

 

Does anyone know the impacts of installing a GT2 rear-wing while otherwise retaining the stock TT body kit? Will it be "unbalanced" at high speeds?

I assume you would need to be going VERY fast to find a difference, but still I would like to know.

 

Only only the Porsche Factory R&D team can answer that question.

 

Eric, looking at the pic at the front of the thread...so when the wing is down, it does not hit the body of the car? How much flex does it have? Will it knock against the bodywork if you go over a rough section of road? I know carbon fibre is supposed to be extremely strong, but I have no personal experience with it.

Thanks

 

Just like the GT2, it sits low, but will not touch the vehicle. You should be fine. If the roads are that bad, you'll need the Hummer version.

One key point: weight comparisons were done on GT2 factory wings.

The stock turbo top wing blade is about 5-6 pounds, so this one adds the dynamics of the much larger GT2 wing WITHOUT adding the subsequent weight.

 

how is the weight compared to misha's wing??

 

how's the weight compared to the std turbo wing?

 

Remember the standard turbo wing is about half the size of the GT2 wing! So it's not an accurate comparison. Misha would need to answer the weight question on that one. And Misha has some of the highest quality fiberglas wings I've seen. Most fiberglas or urethane wings of that size are in the 10-12 pound range on average.

 

If you add this wing without a GT 2 front you should have less down force in the front and more in the back.

However, these things only matter over 130mph.
