I did receive an email from Alan yesterday - he said he's going to take care of it for me.

 

Hey guys, so what's the verdict on this guys, it seems to be all over the place which really doesn't make sense to me??? Another thing that I'm curious about is whether or not its even safe to put his wing on a car that your planning on going 180mph+ from a seller who obviously hasn't tested his products in any way?? If this was made by a reputable company I think I would have more faith in the product like a tech art wing.

 

Thats one issue that has me on the fence. I regularly hit 120+mph on the local roads here, cant exactly have my wing flying off at those speeds!

 

I know its not a perfect example but I was watching a formula one race last year and the car lost its wing and it went on an extreme spin and crashed hard!! the driver had no chance. The Gt2 ad on wing that the guys are talking about is fairly large and I think it will provide a lot of downforce but I think if that wing is not perfectly manufactured (not symetrical on all sides, wrong diameters for height and width, etc...) I would tend to think that would hurt the handling or perhaps even make the car controllable???

 

I would argue that if you're buying a wing to provide additional downforce for high-speed handling, you're much better off paying more for a more established product from a reputable manufacturer (although there's no guarantee that just because it costs more it was therefore fully tested for high speed handling).

I think if you're just looking for an aesthetic upgrade (as I was), then the lower-cost eBay route is a very viable option.

 

I went 150 the other day and it stayed on just fine...

 

Point taken Josh, I mainly want it for the look also, but I also love to drive my TT at high speeds no matter where I am, i traded in a M5 after a couple of months because it didn't handle the way I wanted it, i slightly lost the rear end at 150mph, lucky I had the DSC on and it saved my ***, the TT is my daily driver and any opportunity I get to push it i do.

 

Hey George,

You are in my area, so you should come out to our Saturday morning meet and check the wing out on my car. I bought it from this guy and think that its a great buy for the money. I hit 160 (shh) on 476 and the wing stayed on. Shoot me a PM or email if you would like to see the wing in person. Or, check out our thread in the Events section of this board.

 

Guys-

I don't want to start a riot, but I don't know if I believe these spoiler wings are truly creating ANY significant "downforce." I know almost all advertisements suggest that, but again skeptical that's true.

What I do believe is that these spoilers "reduce lift." If I'm splitting hairs, forgive me, because I'm not a qualified physicist. However, it's my belief that most of Porsche's design creates their bona fide "downforce" from our 996TT's undertray, diffusers and other ground effects.

Having only yesterday finally gotten my wing on (my car's still in a million pieces, getting sideskirts and laser diffusers put back on amongst other work), I haven't had a chance to test it out.

I can say however, it looks fantastic. I'll try to post pics later.

 

Any picture of the wing yet kevin ?

you got that for 500? man that is cheap got mine for Misha. Great deal dude wish I would of caught this.

 

What kind and size and where did you get those wheels? I have been toying with getting the RUF CF wing from him but cant get him below $600.

 

Kevin...the wing and car look AWESOME!

Damn sometimes I wish I got black
