Well designed wings can have the downforce of the GM wickerbill (or more) without the drag. Think of it as similar downforce with lower wind resistance.

I don't understand what makes $6,300 a great price for a wing. Not criticizing the price...sell it for what you will. But why does one look at that and think it's 'great'?

Good question. The wing angle is adjustable. The adjustment with the least angle of attack balances well with the Stage 3 aero. They have been working on a larger undertray for more front downforce that will be paired with a greater angle of attack. I will be playing around with it myself.

Jason,

Do the mounts attach the wing to the top of the rear deck, the floor of the cargo area or the frame?

To the frame through the rear of the fascia. It's a little easier to see on the gray car.

Here are a few images of the substructure, the wings will be backed up by two cotter pins, so it is possible the wings to fold back to open the tailgate .........

Yes. A quick-release pin is pulled and the wing is rotated back.

Hi Jason,

Do you have any specs available? Such as a table of downforce/pitch/speed?

Thanks!
