Function vs. Style

Out of all the stock hatch wings which ones have real function and which ones are just for style.

Some have said the wrap around TA wing has more function than the typical wing like on the firebird; that would not really function until very high speeds.

What about someone with a notchback, what type of wing would work on it.

I guess you could toss louvers in this topic. They look neat but have no real function. You want clean air getting to your wing; and the louvers would cause some awful turbulence.

 

Well, just looking at the difference in the two wings mentioned I would say the T-A wing would have a little more function than the firebird wing, the firebird wing does not appear to be at enough angle to produce any downforce no matter what speed you are running. as for louvers, the only function they have is to help keep the sun from shinning through that GIANT magnifing glass on the back of our cars. I personally like tint alot better than the louvers, they look kind of '70'ish to me.

 

Ever thought about the 4th gen style wing from Hawk's Third Gen Parts? I'm gonna get one. Will it be somewhat functional? I know it's a LOT lighter than the stock TA wings. Thanks, Matt S.

 

Anyone have a creative mind and want to make a wing mod. I’m thinking if the stock firebird wing is too low and angled wrong. That should be fixable. Anyone have any idea what is a good angle.

Should be easy, remove the wing and buy or make a set of spacer blocks to raise the wing up. Also angle cut the top on the give the wing more down force.

Now the only hard part, knowing how high and what angle to shoot for???

 

FULLY FUNCTIONAL... I SWEAR!!!

 

Wow, did you just put 747 wings on a *****?
