Here's what a REAL wing looks like. No compromise and looks hugely more effective than the dandy (poseur?) ones that currently come with, e.g., the 997 Turbo.

Hey Porsche: You could develop *optional* wings that UNBOLT for street use! WOW what a stunning concept!

Maybe Porsche can offer this as an option on the turbo so I don't have to get a less-efficient, stylistically embellished, PERMANENT wing on the Turbo.

Like I said in the other post, when I trade the 997S for the Turbo, I don't want to be seen as a d-bag/superhero by the neighbors/kids when driving past.

 

i personally hate wings on cars unless its truely needed for a race car...they were something i thought was cool when i was 8 years old...it ruins the lines on beautiful sports cars such as porsches , ferraris and lambos...i even dont like the optional wing on the lambo diablo....now the retractable spoiler on the 911s are functional and are classy looking and i can tolerate the wing on the gt3 because its functional and because the gt 3 is such a great car

 

Definitely has the "great car" factor, like I almost wouldn't mind the CGT if it had a non-retractible spoiler or wing.

The difference in performance between the fixed GT3 wing and the retractible spoiler on the 997/S is it sigificant enough for road use?

 

Over 110mph, your car will feel/be much more planted with an oem aerokit. This is why I would only use an oem, wind tunnel tested peice. On the street, makes zero difference.

 

Now thats a wing, functional at what altitude......

 

Wings and aerokits are really cool...
if you're 16 and driving a Mitsubishi.
