    Hey Chris,

    As long as I can't mount an aftermarket rear spoiler, I won't be mounting an air dam or splitter. The reason is high speed balance: more high speed grip at the front means high speed oversteer. So I've got all that realestate to add one, but can't use it because of rear air flow issues.

    Man, I feel your pain... the 142 would just be such a handful with more front downforce. And I shudder to think about how bad it would be without the rear diffuser that was installed on all 142's from the factory. (Admit it... I'll bet you thought those were spare tire wells hanging down in the back, didn't ya?)

    Aerodynamic discussions always leave me chuckling. Almost as much fun to read as the "short shifter" threads.
