You bring up good points. Compare the Rocket Bunny kit to the one used on the Super GT car (BRZ GT300):
Although this one doesn't have the original motor (it's an EJ20, pushing a lot more than 187 whp
). I would imagine that those "sunken in" parts on the RB kit don't do a lot aerodynamically, but I'm not an engineer. They seem to have corrected it on this shell though. You don't see rivets either. The kit appears to have bypassed the taillights entirely.
There is a difference between a spoiler (whose purpose is to reduce drag and lift) and an aerodynamic wing (whose purpose is to generate downforce, and possibly reduce oversteer).
I agree with the others though. If you were looking for maximizing downforce and minimizing drag, you would be custom-making front and rear spoilers that are adjustable to weather conditions, not purchasing a mass produced kit. If you look at a lot of the cars with RB kits on them, look at their suspension setups. Probably not designed for track use in mind. Not saying that there
aren't any, but it looks to be designed for appearance purposes than racing.
Any engineers on this board care to offer an opinion?
