Yeah you're not going to be getting any downforce at the speeds that you drive a twisty road at. The aerodynamic devices on road cars dont even start to get effective until speeds are faster than what you'll be driving on a regular basis, and contribute nothing but additional weight at auto-cross speeds.
That's exactly what I was trying to get at. This car isn't going to be fast enough to NEED high downforce. That, and any add-ons that are designed to add noticable downforce at speeds less than 80mph will be so extreme that you can kiss any kind of gas mileage you might get goodbye.
