How much down force dose the stock spolier provide on the srt-4? Is is just something slaped on to make the srt-4 look more sporty? If there is upgrades for the spolier where can i get it?

 

Like 3lbs? haha seriously though I dunno

 

a bajillion gajillion lol

no clue

 

DCX says it really works, but I don't kow how............

 

it's effective over 90mph. i don't know the specific down force properties, but apparently people have tested this theory.

 

Definitely has an effect. I have done numerous high speed runs, and surprisingly, at 135 in long slow turns the car is stuck like glue. It is stable at 150+ and the spoiler's vertical strakes do as much to keep the car stable as the inverted wing helps to keep it glued to the ground.


Here is a link to a thread where I broke it down. A number of people who are pretty knowledgable chimed in as well:

In my post I said th following:

Guys, science says the wing does create downforce. Read the following blurb about how an airplane wing creates lift. Then look at your wing. It is shaped like an upside down airplane wing. The fact that the upper surface on our wing is flatter and the bottom is curved indicates that it will create a low pressure zone on the bottom, thus creating downforce. I think it is hard to refute these facts.:

Lift is the aerodynamic force that counteracts gravity and holds an airplane in the air. Most of the lift required by an airplane is created by its wings, but a certain portion is also generated by other parts of the aircraft, such as the fuselage. But what actually causes the lift to be created?

First, understand that air is a fluid, just like water, and that all fluids adhere to the same physical and mathematical principles. Next, realize that lift can only be generated when a fluid is in motion. For example, a wing must be passing through the air or the air must be moving around a stationary wing, one or the other. (The way it usually happens is that the wing is doing most of the moving, although the air may be moving too, at the same time.)

Most airplane wings have a special, basic shape as viewed edge-on: their upper surfaces are curved and their lower surfaces are flatter. This shape is what works with the fluid motion of the air to create lift. As air moves around a wing, some goes over the top and some goes underneath. The air that goes over the curved upper surface undergoes two important changes: it is reduced in pressure (by the centrifugal force of flowing across the curved surface) and it is accelerated downward (as it leaves the trailing edge of the wing). The wing is forced into the region of reduced air pressure above the upper surface of the wing by the higher air pressure beneath the wing. Also, the downward acceleration of the air (downwash) at the trailing edge forces the wing upward.

^^^^^I think that this explains pretty well, "How" the wing works.

Chrysler has tested it to produce around 100 lbs of downforce over 120.

 

good info post 100 pounds of downforce not bad.

 

Thats Awsome

 

OK,

So we have proven that the "Baskethandle" actually works......

So, if you take it off, no downforce....Right


But, what if you switch to the smaller SXT wing? I can't imagine that the smaller one creates any Downforce either??


Anyone???

 

I would guess that the sxt wing would lend some help in keeping the rear on the ground, but not quite as much. Also, it would not provide as much stability without the vertical element on each side. But that is just a guess.
