The vortex generator can add up to about 7lbs of downforce at crusing speeds, and up to 42lbs at 150mph+, all while reducing the effects of wind drag.

Well, If you are looking to drag race, the vortex will slow you a littttlllleee bit
People said you can feel the change on a Race Track only..... some say also when daily drive.

Vortex is good if you looking for more downforce.

Well from what I heard, the vortex reduce the drag and increase the downforce by improving the air flow when passing from the roof to the rear spoiler...

If you want more information, there is a thread somewhere
