Wow, for those of you who have been over 130, what kind of setup (spoiler/rake/massive amount to weights in the front of your trunk) did you have? I've been 135mph in a 3.2 equiped gt flared replica and the front end felt soooo lite I didn't want to push it any further.

Wow, for those of you who have been over 130, what kind of setup (spoiler/rake/massive amount to weights in the front of your trunk) did you have? I've been 135mph in a 3.2 equiped gt flared replica and the front end felt soooo lite I didn't want to push it any further. What front spoiler did you use? If you have a true GT clone, they didn't have a very good front spoiler, and no air dam. We had a 916 front shell on (which did provide some front end stability at speed) and now just use a custom air dam. It will drag the ground and clearance itself with the 15" wheels/tires. We normally run 9x16 wheels with 245x45R16 Kumhos on the track car. In the rear we have a custom spoiler kind of like an extended GT spoiler. It is only extended at the two sides and is low in the middle (so you can see back). At first the wings were too tall, so we kept trimming them down until we got to where we are at. It does keep the back end down. We first created it for Grattan (Near Grand Rapids, Michigan) where there is a hump/jump just before a downhill braking zone for a tight right hand turn. It worked to keep the back end on the ground there so you could stay on power until just after cresting the hill. (I think we could take about another 1/4" or so off myself.) |
