The cut isn’t made at any angle. The position you see the wing is the position it sits on the trunk of the car. It is angled by design. You asked me to correct you if you are wrong, and I have.

The area right next to the highlighted region is also an airfoil, I posted this picture previously. There is a reason I told you that only the highlighted region in red is aero neutral. The highlighted region is 5”, not 7.

The only part not making downforce is the area highlighted in red, and that area is only 5 inches, not 7 like you keep insisting on without providing any relevant data.

The one your friend has is probably an aftermarket knockoff, not the real thing or scaled 1:1 to a 350R’s spec. I have not only seen the real ones, I’ve built them. I also build the 1LE’s wings, it’s not like I have cad data just lying around for no good reason. The only part of the R’s wing...

If you have the cash anything is possible. :)

You seem to be making up your own numbers, even though you have no access to the data. Here is a cross section of the "outter 7'" you invented and somehow deem to be ineffective, it is still an airfoil and still has an AoA. The wing's section that is aero neutral is only 5.02", not 7, so your...

I don’t think you’ve actually seen this wing before in real life, or versed in how aero works. It curves downwards at the leading edge, but the trailing edge still curves upwards dramatically. This means there still a very low pressure region below its surface. This is how downforce happens. The...

Here is a 2018 Mustang's Performance wing compared to both, the the 18 GT's wing was designed to be aero neutral. It has relatively no angle of attack.

The GTR’s wing is closer to the new 2018 wing than it is to the 350R’s wing. And the ZL1 1LE is nothing compared to the Viper’s wing. The 350R’s wing is a bit wider and has more effective surface area than the ILE’s wing, and their Angle of Attack is about the same. I have access to the CAD data...

Getting rid of airbags, how sensible and safe. :crazy:

Back seat, lighter battery, lighter aftermarket wheels, and eventually, lighter carbon fiber body panels.

The R's fake wing and splitter? You likely don't understand how aerodynamics works. The wing on the R is massive, and has a surface area larger than the wing on the ZL1 1LE. Mind you, the 1LE's wing produces 300 pounds of down-force at 180MPH. The R's wing probably produces high down-force...

There is not really a lot of excitement around the mustang, and Ford has been keeping things hush hush for a while now. If this continues for a few more months hopefully it will push Ford out of their comfort zone and start taking their competitions more seriously.

One would think that helps create hype and buzz for the upcoming vehicle, but I guess not. It's not like they had problems selling the GT350 despite it being seeing by the public before official reveal. Just doesn't make sense, but I am sure there is a reason for it. :shrug:

Unless you are saying the Ford GT is comparable to the new GT500, then that comparison doesn't really work here. GT500 is special, but not Ford GT special - Not any more special than a GT350, and Ford didn't hide it like an Easter egg before it was revealed. We all saw and heard the GT350 months...

This feels like a deflection, though, and doesn't really invalidate machsmith's opinion. Yes, it's difficult, yes, it is hard, but that doesn't mean it didn't or couldn't have happened. I have no reason to believe that Ford would release a new Halo variant of the Mustang after knowing...

The same camo'ed car we've seen over 20,000 times in the past 2 years. *yawn*

Lol I mean't when it'd hit the streets and dealerships. It'd probably be revealed at Detroit next year.

The refresh Camaro won't come until 2019, so my guess is that Ford will offer a more track capable package PP2 for MY2019. Regardless of the lower HP, a better handling package with great cooling could still hold its own on a track.

The upcoming refreshed 2019 Camaro SS, which is going to be the refreshed Mustang's main competitor, is being benchmarked against the GT350. I don't think it matters if GT350 owners feel encroached on by a more capable Mustang GT, The GT needs to be able to match the performance of its rival or...
