[QUOTE="xtremeleo, post: 4483560, member: 18941"] its because of the original design of a car was made to provide sufficient aerodynamic effect, dat makes me think most cars on the road deosnt need any extra downforce dah.. the thing is, braking system is made to be able to handle more then twice the maximum momentum dat ur car is able to achieve so i wont be creating extra drag to assist in my braking. drag does not used for stabilizing, its a parasit when speed is concern. ive calculated the downforce created by a normally sized GT wing in the market, and at 80kmh, it doesnt provide sufficient downforce to keep a say wira, planted on the road. at 160, naah.. the effect only shows adequate force at around 200kmh, even at dat speed, the weight of the car is more important then the downforce. in an F1, they are using a 600kg racing car, and blasting at speeds up to 300kmh, the weight of the car alone wont keep the car down, hence the extensive research in aerodynamics. the issue is here, not whether downforce is any good, but rather iff most of us need it on the road. most of the time, my answer is no [/QUOTE]
