Default My R Wing

yea so some guy said that my 1/4 times could be better if I took off the 00 Cobra R wing that I have on my car....he says it creates the downforce,BUT could lower my trapping speeds and overall ET's..He said I could prolly do 2 tengths faster If its off........

Anyone else think this could be true...? :angry3:

I think it would lower your times based on weight savings. I don't think you're making enough power to need a downforce producing wing for the strip.

Well..I got the wing PRIMARILY for looks...(i love the 00 Cobra R)....and the wing isnt that heavy really......the guys main concern was that the wing is holding the car back at high speeds.....


Maybe I should take it off 1 time before i go to the track and see........

Yes, removing the wing will generally create higher trap speeds. There will be less aerodynamic drag. I would say a few MPH and maybe a tenth...but it's best to see for yourself.

I'd be interested to see if you got any gains with it.
