Default Mic Goes Aero!!

I've often thought about adding some aero products to my car in order to increase its top speed from 197 to 220 and give me about 4,000 lbs of downforce to keep me planted.

Problem is, every thing out there ADDS more drag and weighs a ton.

Until I found the solution today!!
3

And look! Easy, universal application!!

Just make sure you PLEASE that bottom after confimming your chosen location!!

Voila!!

Not a Z but you get the idea.

So who's in for a group buy? I'm inquiring with the vendor and if we get a minimum of 1,200 orders, I can probably get them down to under a dollar a unit!!

You just reminded me of why I went on a hiatus from this place. GREAT FIND MIC! Good job buddy, let me find a cookie for you... under my couch. Just being facetious.

No offense, Mic - but if I'll need to see some hard data from NASA's aerodynamics division confimming the increase in downforce before dropping a month's paycheck on one of those bad boys.

Dude..... I'm pretty sure that's suppose to go on the front. You see if we were in Asia it would go on the rear, but due to atmospheric deflection patterns on this side of the world it will only work correctly if you mount it on the front clip.

Also - Two of them (one on each side) has been proven to double the down force.

Thanks for the Hot tip Mic! I want an entire row of 'em along my front lip, a cluster of 'em on my hood, roof and a big "Z" pattern on my rear window! May stick a dozen upside down under the car for better aero flow.

I figure this would give me tons of down force to keep my car planted on the local streets especially getting groceries, etc. Just looking at my calculator I'd also expect to pick up some major whp, tq and of course top end speed!

* do they sell them in bulk? I'd need about 32 of them to get a proper job done; I'll have them all painted a separate, custom color too!

I've been using one of these, but I'm liking your spoiler idea:

People people people, I'm feelin' a little butthurt that several of you have overtly expressed your disbelief in my sincerity.

Hmmmph. Just for that, I'm not going to reveal the source. (Ahhhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhFleabay!)

BTW, if you guys that said you wanted a dozen or some multiple thereof, I caution you. That much downforce may cause you to pop your tires!!

And Trav, what day is your qualifying dance being shown on "So You Think You Can Dance"? Good luck, I'm sure you'll make it to the academy or battle rounds or even down to the subway station!

Default Functional!!!

Preface this by saying: WOW!!!

This is the best go-fast product I've ever bought!!

Check it out!!

Oh, and please never mind how dirty the car(s) are... gimme a break, I just got back home after three weeks at our other "home", OK!? Sheesh, jealous haters be hatin'...

But yeah, not only does it work GREAT on my Z, I got enough for the rest of the fleet!!



Added so much power to the ground that I had to alter my driving style in the Highlander!! Don't think that vehicle EVER accelerated so hard and stuck to the ground so tightly! They're all road huggers now!!

But while they work really well on the street, I think that my track car will benefit the most from this addition...


Next I'm going to try some on my bicycles!!
