[QUOTE]Originally posted by Black94 5.0: [QB] Well, to answer your question, anything past 120mph your gonna need a lot of extra down force...I'm talking from experience... I've taken my car to around 160mph...5,000rpm+ in 5th gear with 3.55's..... :D My car was extremely light!...At top speed it required A LOT of steering input just to change lanes... Front chin spoiler's are to direct air around the car and keep it from getting air underneath the car...If you get air under the car its NOT going to flip :rolleyes: , its gonna lose grip with the road and probably make you loose traction like you would in the rain only your going a lot faster :D ... The rear wing/spoiler holds the car down and gives a lot of downforce to the car....The '00 Cobra R Spoiler add over 200lbs of downforce at only 120mph(So I've heard)..... Basically your car will be extremely light at 175mph....Whatever downforce you can add will be great.... [QUOTE]((94Blackout)): Those F1 kart racers are the only cars that aerodynamically speaking are able to simply "fly" becasue of excessive undercarriage lift.[END QUOTE] -What are you talking about? :rolleyes:First of all F1 and CART are 2 different types of cars..Second of all, (FACT):Did you know that an F1 car, hypothetically, has enough down force to hold itself to the roof of a tunnel at only 120mph!! :eek: ...Any car going fast enough and gets enough air under it is goin to take flight...I've seen it in Nascar, F1, Cart, Indy, and especially the LeMans cars...
