spoiler question
my buddy has a merkur XR4TI and he was wondering what spoiler would work the most efectively. it is a rear wheel drive car with a ton of pony's. needs some dowforce. he was looking at the carbon fiber C-WEST spoiler. let me know! :D
|
If he wants real downforce, he should go with something the real racers are running.
Gary was running a SPI Motorsports GT Rear Wing Assuming it is an American car of some form, he may want to go with an actual spoiler that comes off the trailing edge of the trunk lid (a la NASCAR) instead of a wing. AtomicLabMonkey might have some good ideas on how to keep the rear end of some American Iron on the ground. |
The XR4Ti is one of my favorite cars...Those things used to Dominate SCCA Trans AM back in the late 80's early 90's
|
Spoilers & wings can work on any type of car and each have their advantages and disadvantages.
|
I thought those XR4TI's already had *two* spoilers on 'em from the factory... I guess you could call it the turbo STrIce version of the Escort. :lol:

As far as street car stuff, they primarily do motor work on Ford 4-bangers, like the Fiesta, Escort, Focus, and in the past, the Ford Sierra (aka the XR4TI here in the US IIRC). Cosworth's racing program produced some awesome F1 motors back in the day as well. Ford now owns Cosworth, and uses them as their motor development program for European racing. They're also Ford's European equivalent to the SVT group here in the States. Cosworth has tuned some sick ass Fords over the years: Escort RS MkV: http://www.turbocharger.co.uk/images...-escort-08.jpg Cosworth Escort (concept based on the rally car): http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~fulton...uscosworth.jpg Cosworth Sierra: http://www.turbocharger.co.uk/images...-sierra-06.jpg Cosworth Fiesta ST Concept: http://www.fordfiestast.com/images/l...02004/st11.jpg Cosworth Focus RS Concept: http://www.fordfiestast.com/images/l...02004/rs08.jpg It's a real shame we don't get these cars here in America. :( |
