Wow didnt know that. I just kinda assumed.
For street driving I would say from that angle is dosent look too bad for everyday car. I think a side shot might really expose the full range of the wing.
You mentioned the finial weight I think you mentuoned it somewhere but what was the total weight loss.
We’re down about 360-370 lbs from stock.
I personally have given up on the b8 so I wouldn’t have to do this. Wrong car, wrong application IMO. What West is doing is fine though. If he enjoys it then all good.
Personally though, I am of the opinion I could have spent less money and have a superior track car (ie: exige, z06)…and said car would actually be doing what it was designed for.
On the other hand, I do see how turning a car into something it otherwise wasn’t to be interesting.
I started this thread 9 months ago. And holy shit does this wing work. Would recommend to anyone with adjustable suspension. My disbelief is not with the cornering speeds, which are up considerably even on lower speed corners. It is that my top line speed has also improved. The car must have been lifting far more than I thought on the straightaways.
What I have built is a DIY R8 GT.
I really think I saved a lot of money compared to what I want, which is a proper Porsche GT car. Ideally in RS trim. But I don’t want to jump in the deep end of the pool so I will start scrappy with tracking the Boxster.
Lol that wing looks hilariously out of place. Have you thought about front/rear diffusers as well?
Still looking forward to seeing the improvements in lap times.
Lol it is really not out of place in the group I roll with

B8 with and without wing.

if you haven’t noticed, the b8 section on here is basically the westwest show. ;D
Picked up 3 seconds. Lap time dropped from 2:11 to 2:08.
It’s going to be the empty forum show when I get banned for having an open mind about Tesla. Disagreeing is bad karma apparently.
Those wings on the Pcars are oem right…
3 seconds is huge.
For my knowledge what is R8 track time.
From fully stock to where you are now. What is the stock time
Not that you care but I think if you tied in the side of the wing and made it solid line on the Pcars it would tie in better and look more in place.
Highway MPG is 19 with wing dragging on stock software tune.
Justin - do you mean remove the side plates?
you’re retarded
Audi Revolution - where bullies get karma!
The oracle of niagara falls always adds value to subforums for cars he doesn’t own.
I’m a fucking platform scientist and your life goal is to disable my account for a month. Eastern Canada must be super boring.
The great thing about AR is that committed members read all subforums because we’re all interested in everyone’s projects. That’s because we just love cars.
I did get a laugh about your post, though, given the irony of you blowing up the Tesla thread for a year now (you know, the subforum about a car you don’t own).
