the brown truck delivered a gift from santa on christmas eve for my 1tufffz so i guess i was a good boy this year.
this rear spoiler is a prototype from sdi as we saw used / mounted on roddy's z for the hbz wind tunnel testing.
it rises nearly 6" off the decklid and roddy tells me that driving at anything beyond normal highway speed will create not lift but downforce. i think he actually said, go out, drive fast and make lots of downforce. hmm, let me see what i can do.
i am both hopeful and confident that this will be thoroughly tested at watkins glen in 2010, and possibly nashville super speedway roval at the z convention.
as u can see from the pics i have it temporarily mounted after i gently removed the old xenon urethane spoiler which has been mounted since...1990 when the white paint was applied [had a bodyshop do it while i was stationed in pensacola, fl in the usmc].
i am very fortunate to have this prototype, don't ask as to; price, production info or such as i can not answer. been sworn to absolute secrecy by roddy. the only thing he said is they have something 'in the works'...
