Does anyone know if the Aerokit option is for show or go. Just wondering if it improves the downforce and handling.

Thanks

I thought the wesite (Porsche) talked about the handling improvements of it. Besdies, do you really think that Porsche would slap on a bling aerokit without it having any performance benefit?

 

Didn't someone post the actual downforce numbers a while ago? As I recall the stock 911 had a slight upforce at the rear but when the aerokit was installed it became a downforce.

 

Courtesy of MJones:

The real deal is the Factory Aerokit:
Aerokit Cup Aerodynamic Values:

front end lift force 0.00
rear end lift force -0.02
Notes:Note the real downforce on the rear axle. Former Aerokits only reduced the upforces.
Negative values represent downforce.

Stock Carrera Values:
front end lift force 0.05
rear end lift force 0.02

 

It's basically for show in the Carrera and S. Anybody legitimately concerned with the handling traits at speeds high enough to be affected by aerodynamics is likely going to be buying a GT3.

 

For show? Maybe for the guys that follow the speed limit and don't track the car.....but it DOES have a fundamental pupose.

 

Was curious as to why the factory doesn't offer this option for the cabriolets.
