[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16838390, member: 83412"] I guess if you've never tracked then aero might seem foreign to you (not aimed at you, I dig what I see there). For me, it was spending the '18 IMSA Continental Series in the pits with Dean's team to get a good feel for the engineering behind the cars that Ford had approved. Watching the crew set up the cars for a given track, you learned how important minor suspension and wing adjustments could be, especially at 170mph+. At the time I had sold my GT350 and with fingers crossed that Ford would do a GT500, was sitting on a potential deal from Nick if they came out with one. I planned on acquiring a GT4 wing [I]somehow[/I] once I saw that it would fit a standard S550 decklid. I got a kick out of the fact that Ford engineers used an actual GT4 wing for testing with the upcoming GT500, then emasculated it "for the pretty" and used it on CFTP cars.
