EVO Aerodynamics Review

If you did that, I'd be all over it. I was already in the process of custom designing a wing-independent method to do a safety latch that braces to the trunk floor plan to help on both bow up and force down distribution. If you incorporated it as part of the mounting bracket, makes my life and probably a lot of others lives easier to distribute the downforce into the frame instead of across the deck lid.
For my purposes, I have a ton of aero changes this winter in the works. The one giant gap is the rear wing. I haven't settled on a design/vendor yet and until I do I can't offset the aero balance shifts. I have one more event before I tear the car back apart for body work/widening work/finishing reparing last track incident. And then I need to start making some decisions on airfoil solutions.
You have a timeframe in mind for that bracket change? We talking 6 months or a year out?

we started our aero test earlier this week. very interesting results so far. we were working on additional tests today until it starting raining cats and dogs.
we have so far tested the evo with no aero, and with the GTC-300 at max AOA. we have a stock wing, a Ciro designs dual element wing, and if i can make the APR GT1000 dual element wing mount to this trunk i'm testing that as well also have our front splitter to test as well. i will have the rest tested tomorrow because the weather looks like it will be fine.

sweet. i've decided on the Ciro SE wing due to cost and availability. it seems perfect for what i want and the same as my cost on a GT250 wing. it's also much easier to get ahold of than the Kognition part.
i'm making my own splitter with a 5" length. i'm hoping between the two, i'll have the downforce i needed to get the stability i want.
