Default DEVELOPEMENT: new 951 SPLITTERS

This is one of our new splitter versions we are working on for the 951. As we are currently waiting on the finish templates, we decided to bolt up this mock-up of the V1 "shorty" and do a little test/fun driving.

There were noticeable improvements in forward bite and the ability to maintain an increase of 4-6mph through turns. V1 was stable at 125mph (sustained) w/ bursts to over 145mph. The greatest (IMO) improvement was the overall "calming" effect it had on the nose at higher speeds (65+mph)...it just seemed to turn easier and smoother.....FYI....check this thread for the whole story...

Attachment 303297


*if there is interest 1 or 2 versions can be made for the 944 N/A.

Two questions:

1. Did you say one for a NA?

2. Do you take paypal?

Seriously I think a chin spoiler / "splitter" for a NA would fill a needed market niche.

Put me on the list @ #1

Yes...I am giving strong thought to providing a Stage I and II version for the 944 N/A. After the completion (2-4 weeks) of the 3 versions for the 951, if there is interest, I would begin development for the 944....FYI.

I'd be down for a nice splitter for an NA car.
