I'm seriously considering it.....
Let me see what happens with our trip car shopping tonight (for my wife, not me, the Z is still here) and how broke I am. I think I'd try the road race version, I could still autocross with it (even if it does little, I won't be "over spoilered" on a road course). Put me down as "tenative" (or if we need one more at the end). I'll post up as soon as I'm more certain. What's shipping on a 7.5" to Galloway, OH 43119? |

Howdy,
For a combination autox & track car, should I go with the CP version or the roadrace version? Will the CP version generate too much downforce on the track, even at its lowest setting? If you get to the 20% discount level, I'm in. And I'm at 44514 for shipping... Mark This post has been edited by marka: Oct 23 2006, 08:55 PM |

I'm in, Alan. 7.5" for a 4th gen, please.
Mojave, I almost bought a C4 with a bad motor back in March. Seller's name was Evan, in southern Oregon I think (I spotted the car online). Point is, if it wasn't a Blaine Fab spoiler on the car, it was an exact copy of one. He used to have a bunch of pics online, even long after the car was sold. I think I used to find them by googling "corvette road race monster" ... his description, not mine. |

Mark Mark - JonA is pretty sure that the 10" won't be too much on the road course with a front splitter. I'm sure that at autocross speeds you'd need the 10" to make significant downforce. I do make sure that it has a very broad range of angle adjustment so even without a splitter, laid down, I believe it will be OK at the higher road course speeds. |

QUOTE (Blainefab @ Oct 24 2006, 03:00 AM) Mark - JonA is pretty sure that the 10" won't be too much on the road course with a front splitter. Yes, and I believe one of the biggest advantages to Alan's spoilers are their versatility--I think when layed down it'd probably be fine with no front aero. Changing the angle of the spoiler makes a huge difference in the downforce it will provide (and the drag it causes). The 10" layed all the way down should produce quite a bit less downforce (and even a fair amount less drag) than the 7.5" on a steeper setting. In other words, with that large a range of adjustment I think there's going to be a whole lot of overlap between the two. And for autocross speeds, you'll definately enjoy erring on the big side if you want anything noticable. If you don't have any front aero mods, just lay it down when you go to the track and be happy (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I'm of the opinion that these cars can use a decent increase in rear downforce relative to the front in stock form anyway. This post has been edited by Jon A: Oct 25 2006, 04:27 AM |

Argh.. look like an uber-dork at my events, or have a better handling car (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
What's the suggested size for HPDE's... I'm looking for DF while braking in the rear and some DF while going fast (100-130mph) I have a stock front T/A bumper. |

The most people have the most experience at those speeds for roadcourse use with the 7.5", so I'd say that's the safest bet for that use at the moment. Numerous people can share with you setup advice for that size right now. I'll likely be sort of plowing new ground. If you were autocrossing as well or were about to add a big front splitter, you might lean toward the 10". That's my take on it at this point anyway.

It's looking good so far. It will be a few weeks before the spoilers will ship, if you want the knob right away PayPal me $45 + $4 USPO and I'll get one in the mail to you in a day or so. I've gotta get more stickers made, thanks for the reminder. Thanks!

I agree with Jon - lots of folks with stock front ends are using the 7.5" on the road course and finding the car responds well to spoiler angle adjustments. The 10" is recommended for road course duty only if a very efficient airdam/splitter is used up front. |

What are we at in terms of discounts?
I'll (possibly) be in for a 7.5 if we go to max discount. Do you take CC's? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
