Here's a video I made as a joke in another thread but it does actually show the physics behind it (it does put down force on the entire car)...

good deal. im more curious about from 145-165, my car is pretty stable but it feels like I'm barely making contact with the road. I'l hafta pick one up in the spring and conduct my own testing how are these things attached? it shouldn't have any problems staying on at those speeds right?

^^No problem at all. 8 factory bolts and three I added. When my friend tested it at 150mph he was racing a twin turbo stealth in Vegas and the stealth said there was no deflection in it...

I saw you original post in my e-mail. You have the right idea but in reverse, here's little video I had done (as a joke, but principals are real)...

Yeah, I did have it backwards. I like the design. I was not trying to start anything. I just saw it scratched my head, and replied. Then I actually thought about it, and decided you were right.

I know you weren't. Everything you said was just informational tone, it didn't sound like you were starting anything...

I made the video just because most people think it scoops air like a bulldozer and that is how it creates down force (which is obviously wrong)...

I saw a Top Gear episode last night that showed the team testing different ideas on a practical car to cut it's lap times.
They tried adding on a F1 spoiler and it actually slowed down their car (fwd).
They also tried making a a last second splitter out of wood , unfortunately they couldn't test it 'cause it caught on FIRE...lol

On a serious note, do ya'll think this would help me going down the 1/4 mi with speeds finishing higher than 130 mph?
