Wow...found this over at my home on ClubWRX, and wanted to share it with you.

Enjoy.





Edit: This isn't supposed to be an attack. I'm friends with Pistol on this board. This pic popped up on a "rice" thread and I thought you guys might appreciate it and join in on the laughs.

 

218 mph is what I think it hit

 

It's a true functional wing. The owner races in a lot of uphill races driving with extreme speeds.

 

Can't believe that thing is functional!

 

the downdraft produced by that wing causes the car to scrape on the road at speeds exceeding 35mph. It is fitted with a titanium scrape plate covering the entire bottom of the chassis, which is coated in a special silicon polymer to prevent overheating.

 

I have been at a DE with this car in Charlotte NC. It is a real RUF and the rear wing is......um...... highly functional to say the least.

Huge power, fast fast car.

 

If you consider the angle of the inclines while accelerating at high speeds, it produces extreme down forces on the rear of the car. Don't forget, Porsche cars are designed like an airplane wing and have smooth covered undersides that allows better drag coefficient. If you also notice, all modern 911s have spoilers that are designed to "spoil" the lift created by the air being rushed under and over the car. Like on an airplane, you need that lift over and under the wings to fly and in a Porsche you don't want that lift while driving at high speeds.

 

Damn, interesting stuff.

Thanks for the education :embarassed:

 

dude, I was kidding...

 

Is it just me or does the upper portion of that rear wing look like a um... ironing board?

 

I will not be as diplomatic as the rest of you.

The car looks downright retarded.

 

I am with Ken... it may be functional but its not the most aestheticaly (sp?) pleasing . I wonder how much drag it creates.

 

alot

 

see my post above.

 

I bet that thing is insanely fast, a 993 Ruf TT produces around 460BHP i believe.
