I started running my last Carrera ('86 Coupe)on the track with a chin spoiler and no tail. After adding a "Weissach" Tail ( as delivered on Weissach edition SC's, very similar to a Carrera tail in surface area and general shape, yet one piece and lighter ), turn 8 at Willow Springs (120 mph sweeper) was a far less intimidating turn, and the car was much easier to control under hard braking at the end of the front straight. I believe it even felt a bit more stable at freeway speed.

Hey Bill, What year Pano was that from?

Bill's graph certainly covers the tech end of things, no further comment on that other than you need to be at 100+ to really need it. If it is a matter of style/taste, I think it looks a bit awkward on a Targa, looks at home on the Coupe.

An aftermarket tail may undermine the value of a car to the purist, no new mounting holes please!

I have seen the 1994 vintage "S" tail for $495 at BW Motorsports ad in Excellence Mag. (618-622-0524/Ohio), nice unit, lower profile than the turbo unit.

Oops my bad! I digitized the graphs so long ago that I forgot that they weren't from Pano, but from a presentation by Bob Whiteat War Bonnet in May 77, then reprinted in 'Up~Fixen' vol V, pg 309. Lots of other great info in that one!
