I've always been a fan of the active aero system on our cars. However some people seem to doubt it's effectiveness. Here is a video I found that shows some really nice wind tunnel tests of the active aero system in action:

already posted but yes it increases downforce slightly.

still don't see the point of the rear wing being adjustable. okay for the front one to make it easier with going over bumps and parking over curbs.

Good video, never seen it! Looks like the wind tunnel results differ from the Russians. I like that it's produced by MHI Japan. Thanks for posting!

Rear visibility.

And the extra downforce isn't needed at lower speeds. Pretty common sense if you ask me.

He gave you credit, why be a dick about it... at least that's how your post sounds.

Also, thread will show up when somebody searches via google, unlike a post that will get lost in no time with an active thread.

wish i understood japanese. it would make deciphering the GTO vs. GTR video easier to understand.

Like it, gets the gears going to see if stuff can be adapted to the front end of the stealth. I always thought the banana wing provided more rear downforce than the active aero setup, but the stealth doesn't have anything on the front. Splitter real world tests would be nice.

Stealth actually come factory with a semi splittedr setup, thus increasing downforce. My 1st gen TT's always hugged the road tighted than my 3k's. Although the rear AA is pretty strong.
