Higher mount makes it more effective.. I believe the standard mount adds about 2" or so above the deck strut. The wing is also wide at 65". I don't have it but have seen it in person.

Agree with some of the posters that it definitely does not look as refined as a RS / Manthey wing (for example, the example that I saw, the end plates are pretty thin and flat and when mounted to the wing, depends on the location, there's some gap), but most likely more effective, so for a track car, it is a great alternative.

 

I see on the site they show a 997 rs type pic and the words 'coming soon' with a link to ...nothing related. Usually means someones sorta working on it, like the GoPro remote which they advertised since march and released in aug.

 

It's definitely not an not oem fitment. And it's not $70000 new either. I'm sure you could get them/someone to machine perfect flush mounts, but then you'd lose some height and cost advantage.

I'm not so tied up on looks to care if it mounts awkward so long as it works. And it does. And then some. If I could have gotten a used RS in my time frame I probably would have. But now, I think I would do aeromotion again.

Ditto Td. The few aeromotion wings I have seen are on the fast cars

And the money I saved is going towards Charles super light exhaust!

I definitely would consider the Aeromotion wing if I were to buy a wing for my car.. but I think I got other mods to do before that... !!

 

bump, still looking

 

Aeromotion wing could have been installed and rockin already lol Just sayin'

Does anyone have any pics of the 57" version? As much as I want the 65", I don't feel like chopping heads off pedestrians.

 

i know, but aeromotion to me is muh

 

waht does muh mean...? too fast?

 

It means it ain't as pretty as mine.

 

Too bad pretty ain't as big (or as fast)! *zing* lol

-td (<- wouldn't wait a year to find a "pretty" wing on a track car)

 

YOu guys with Aero Motion wing, wasn't there some teething issues with it causing imbalance and tire wear issues? Did it just require setup changes, were you able to keep balance in the car and drop lap times as a result of the wing?

Too much rear downforce?

 

For me, yes. YMMV. The rear downforce did require some tuning. I ended up increasing rear tire pressure a bit and also changed the rear alignment some, but not much (I don't have the figures handy though). I also added the cup front splitter (which I wasn't using). I ate through a couple sets of rears trying to get things right which I wasn't excited about.

Car added +3 (or more) MPH in fast sweepers and +1 or so in most corners. Lap times decreased around .5 sec or more depending on track configuration.

Interesting side notes: I could tell when downforce was not "active" as the car's rake would change in the braking zone and load the front more. I had to alter my braking cadence a bit to counteract this. And, with the car on my trailer, around 70+ MPH it would change balance of the trailer (pushing the back end down) which made the trailer act funny. Basically, I can't go over 70 with the car+wing on the trailer
