#6871, "Just an idea...whataya think????"


          

Instead of those ugly ass (sorry if you have one) wings on the back of our cars, what do you think of this: take the aftermarket roof scoop, cut holes in the roof and run nice looking rectangular tubing of some kind from the scoop down and out of the bottom back of the car to create down force at high speeds, kind of like the same thing on nascars to keep them on the ground when the start spinning. could this work and create enough down force like the wing?????? ideas??? input???

Hmmmmmm I dunno...sounds more like you'd only be slowing yourself down. More air resistance...but that's just my 2cents.
I always thought the wings or spoilers just pushed your rear end down at high speeds for traction and stability...i think the roof scoop idea is just making air flow through your car and out the back. Anyone agree? Or do I sound 'tarted? emoji

Sounds ok, but how would u do that without looking ghetto? I mean, having a scoop and holes with dryer hose or whatever? It might work, the problem is gonna be making it look clean. If you find any cars with it, post the pics, I'd be interested in seeing this.

I don't think You need that much downforce, since you are not going anywhere near 140mph+. always remember too much downforce on the back of the car equals to increase in LIFT on the front. Specially if your car is not lowerd properly. (which is the front of the car should be lower to the ground than the back of the car) You could actually fly/flip/lift your car in the air at high speed.
