I checked my ego at the door long time ago. It's not about who is faster or who has the larger bling. This is just a thought exercise to see what if. Cup or RSR wings were designed for very different cars from street 3 and RS. I want to see the potential benefit/harm from fitting one of these wing on a heavier street car. I can imagine the extra wear on the rear tires and drag on straight speed but will it be off set by better turn in/out?

interesting, I want to do the same thing 5 years after this post was started

+1 Very interesting indeed. This is almost like climbing into a time machine. Lew was right. Mikymu should have spent the money on professional coaching. He might be racing with the big boys by now.

I wonder which one of these Cups in the photos is mine?

that wing looks awesome, is that the GMG uprights, wow....

where can I find a 997.1 deck lid...

bmwtye

PMNA 997.2 cup deck lid, uprights and end plates. The uprights and end plates are modified to work with the OEM .2 RS rear wing.

So the blade is oem .2 RS?

bmwtye

Yes it is. I didn't want to be driving around on the street with a cup wing. My plan is to swap the Cup wing on for track days.

I have to ask what the difference would be between the .2RS wing with the cup endplates vs. a cup wing are in regards to performance? I like the look of the .2RS since it's curved vs. the flat shelf of the cup. or is the swap more an aesthetic reasoning.

One of the main differences is drag, the cup wing will have a lot more drag in the straights because of its size (bigger) and the flat design, where as the RS wing is Anhedral which helps with reducing drag. The cup wing was made flat back them because of costs, it was a lot cheaper to produce then the anhedral design that is on the RS and on the RSR race cars.

I used the cup car end plates on the wing because they increase the effectiveness of the wing tremendously (they are larger in surface area than RS end plates and have most of the area under the wing

Nice setup! I have the same setup with the RSR wing.
