How much down force will this make?

Hey guys, after a lot of engineering we have develpoed this new rear wing. I will be marketing this early May, 2004. Although testing thus far has been inconclusive, we guess that this will help your car go much faster.

Expect to see RWHP increases of over 20% and top speed to increase the same %.

Available June 2004 or so will be a titanium upgrade kit. It will include all the hardware necessary and should increase performance specs another 5-7%. This is extremely high tech and we are working on technology for the lag bolts right now.

All units shipped to the west coast will be constructed of pressure treated pine for moisture concerns.
CA DISCLAIMER: the stuff in PT wood is bad. Don't touch it, don't eat it, don't stand down wind from it. It may cause a rash. Your future children will not be smart.

Note: DISTRIBUTORS WANTED (hey Wayne! What do you think?)

If you used thicker lumber, you'd get more "downforce". And you could put sandbags in the trunk for extra "downforce".

You know, for a scrap-lumber spoiler, that's really professionally done. I mean, seriously. There's no duct-tape, there's no dripping wood-glue, it doesn't look that bad ...

Now if he had just made it halfway aerodynamic ...
