Pro Stock Wing's
#21
I meant no offense by it. I just don't like the look of it.
And in the case of my car, Big Mike's car and a few others the wing that I posted is far better for the speed the car will go. In general, the Camaro/Firebird remains pretty stable into the bottom 8's at a 170. So a wing on anything running mid 8's and up really isn't needed anyway. So you had best better need a wing if you're going to put it on. Otherwise it's straigt up silly regardless of how it looks.

The version that Dave has is the same style that I have in the pictures against the black TA. The only difference is that I haven't bolted on my wicker or the spill plates yet.
I realized it wouldn't have the same affects, just didn't know if there were varying options of how far it dips down. didn't realize they were multi-piece and you didn't have the sides on the picture of the pontiac at the top of the thread. But I guess you'd be right, if they are stable up to that speed, then my worry for other driver's being able to see my left/right turn signal on the street, really isn't one since MOST street cars aren't running 170mph. definitely not mine atleast. I just liked the look

Yeah I know we don't run 180mph plus so we don't need that was what was told to Racin Jason a few years ago when he was running a 10.5 tire class that was limited to a stock wing and he was running a Mustang Coupe and it unloaded the tires and he crashed and died from the crash.After the crash and with him dying they allowed rear wings.So for you people to say that it isn't needed under 180mph are good and you use your own judgement.I wish the best for you but please don't knock those that choose to use them and I hope to not read later that you were wrong.

As for the Dzues on the hatch you will probably have to build a small frame inside of the hatch area to fasten it to.
