You just don't drive it enough. I don't even notice mine anymore!

APR? No way. Maybe on a dedicated track car. They look terrible imo...too big.

BTW, if someone wants a spare trunk to have one with a wing and one wingless I have one for sale. You'd just have to have the holes filled and paint it.

Eli, you are selling your trunk now??? Do you have some slick Carbon Fiber parts on the back now?

No. I still have my stock trunk. I bought a bunch of parts off Bruce that were take-offs from the Sparco and Vivid Evo.
The main thing I was interested in was the turbo setup from the Sparco Evo which is essentially brand new. All the other parts are being sold

Brendan.....Sell me your wing... I don't like the looks of a wingess EVO.

Eli....my EVO is now only a play car for racing and going to shows. The APR might be the choice if I am to be going to the tracks with you and Greg when I get back.

Please don't kid yourself into thinking it would actually make an improvement on the track.

I must say the wingless look is the only way.

Save you money for seat time - a wing won't help you keep up with me.


Seriously though, the APR wing is overkill if you're under 500 whp.

I've actually heard from numerous people that it does work.. The wing it self is an actual airfoil, so I would see where yes it would have some benifits at speed.

Eli I might be interested in that trunk!

Benefits at speeds that we won't reach on a roadcourse, not in a turn where it would help anyway. It would benefit a lightened track car on a course with lots of high speed sweepers. But it would not help Paul at all, he needs to learn how to drive first.
