I'm working on a track car that will primarily be used for hillclimbs and track events (high speed stuff) with autocross being secondary.
I've been studying and researching aero modifications till I'm dizzy and wondered what options others are using besides the GT racing predator wing? If you have real world experience I'd love to hear what you're using, mounting tips/ pics, and thoughts in general. I'll be running in classes dictated by displacement only, so rules will not be a limiting factor to size, shape etc. Thanks for your time, Andrew |

My car came with what looked like a 70s Dodge Daytona rear wing, and had a huge front splitter to compensate. I removed both of them since it wouldn't comply with vintage racing. Car was used in PCA racing, which allows ridiculous wings. Previous owner spend a ton of money getting the wing and splitter built. The rear attachment for the wing was very ingenious. The 1st picture below has the transport windows installed, again another engineering marvel. They bolt in place and are easily removed, supports were added so the lexan doesn't flex. Since these pictures were taken the front end was redone to accommodate a huge oil cooler. Car is on display in the museum section of the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, GA.
