the rear wing adds almost .5g in deceleration... if you dont know anything about physics, then its your problem.
.6g to be precise. But whatever, are you trying to prove to others that you can read?

No Ice, not try to stir up a fight.

I didn't really did alot of research on the topic. I just know that the SLR have the same system and the deceleration on that is .25g which help slow the car down but not alot so that's why I say I don't know if it would help much. Plus beside slowing it down it also provide stability under heavy braking which is true if you imagine all the weight transfer to the front, the rear will be light and a chance of a tail out will be high right?

But sometimes I just don't understand why people would act like an a$$ behind the keyboard, I haven't seen him in person and maybe he's like that in person too

btw Ice are you suppose to be a moderator

Yep, that's why I posted the "fight" message to give you guys a little hint were this is currently leading, or could get...

If I thought it would be more serious allready, than I would have posted the smiley with the yellow card, which I used a couple times allready...

If you guys would allready be at the point of no return, I would have posted something directly/straight...

Moderating... The art of not interfering too much, but be there and help and keep people calm... Not easy, espacially when the moderator himself is having some foglight moments...
