    Active aero in windtunnel

    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!

    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.
