Default Carnewal RS Rear Wing

I just ordered a RS rear wing from Gert. There were some issues due to the US dollar and the Euro volatility. These issues were worked through with no shouting or bad feelings. Gert is great to do business with as well as a gentleman. In todays world it's increasingly difficult to find someone sensitive to the customers needs. To Gert, thanks again.

Hey Ray,

What are the advantages of the RS wing, other then looking better?

Zo6,
To be honest, I purchased the wing for its astetic value. I'm sure at moderate to high speed this wing will provide more downforce and lateral stability than the OE wing. I haven't heard from anyone that has first hand experience as to possible advantages. It would be interesting to get their feedback in reference to the RS wing preformance impressions.

You might want to consider the motorsport chin spoiler to help balance out the additional downforce in the rear.

I had mine up to 165 at VIR It definately provides more downforce than the stock wing, with no more drag due to it's better profile. I usually run mine flat, but put the 4 degree shims in to help with the high speed esses. WOW! I could really feel it working as the car felt a lot tighter going through there. Only a couple of the real race cars could go up the esses faster than I did, so I guess that it works well.

Ray, I'm thinking about getting the wing for the same reason you did. How much did it cost you with shipping, etc? You can PM me if you like. Thanks.

Holger,

Call DEVEK. Due to the dollar being so bad right now. Otherwise Gert is great. I got a bunch of stuff from him like 6 months ago when it was more "economically advantageous". Ask for Austin.

I recommend them so much I should get a kick back from them by now

the CF wing from gert really looks fantastic on the car -- super improvement over the stock wing... which has always looked to me as if Bangle somehow got drunk with the designer who listened...

Gert's has the factory wing which quality is superb, but about $3K... you can't believe how cool it looks until you see it on the car....

Hey Watt, it looks good. Did you ever go with the Fabspeed muffler bypass pipes?

Greater surface area = more downforce, hence a more planted and stable azz end at speed. Confirmed with my own experience.

they're on the car... briefly. sounds titz at idle and low rev, but run it to 8200 over and over and sounds like a '58 Dodge Power Wagon stuck in the mud [this is merely a figment of my brain for illustration purposes -- do not, i repeat do not, write a response telling us how different reality is].

but 50# saved with no exhaust is nice... Joe says his Catbypass pipes $550/set and Maxflo mufflers $995/set are quiet and light, but don't have the wieght...from him yet.

car has 787 miles, time to sell it
