Sorry can't see pic. Is this it.


This is made by RUF in PU but it cost a fortune. Fiberglass is about $300.

Sorry that's not the lip...

I'm talking about the 996 techart "big" lip. Also, did I post the pic incorrectly?

I can see it just fine.

Thanks for the reply.

I can't see the picture at all either.

Brian Jessel Autohaus up here in Vancouver is an authorized Techart dealer. Contact John Cheng at 604-638-7000 (he is the manager).

I bought some Techart product from them and was very pleased.

John in Vancouver

Thanks.

Does anyone have any data on actual increase in downforce from the various chin spoilers and tails available on aftermarket?

Thinking about this, but not interested in the look, unless there is a real performance gain.

I've never seen anyone publish wind tunnel results of aftermarket components. One thing you can be sure of is unless you going over 100mph there will be no significant increase in down force over stock.

Agree with that. My car goes to the track, including a couple where it sees about 150 mph.

It's not me, Rolando, it's the car!

The long downhill back straight at Mid-Ohio is one place, and there are 3 long straights at Road America where you can get to the top of 5th gear. That's my self-imposed limit.

I think it's closer to 160, but two things...

I tend to be more focused on the braking zone turn coming up so I don't watch the speedo too closely, and my Traqmate data usually shows about 5-7 mph less than I seem to recall seeing.

Anyway, it's pretty fast.

Close to 160 or 160 mph exact is very fast when you have a curve or a turn in seconds.

Thanks for the replies,

As for Larz, I have not found any vendor that makes this lip in Polyurethane.

I was wondering if they do come in poly or a a plastic type of material?

Lastly, I'm assuming the picture works now?
