I'd like to see the 100-0 with and without the "air brake". I bet it's negligible.

I agree. It's also likely that once they got to that stage of testing they decided to let it fade into oblivion and hope some jackass wouldn't bring it back from the dead on TMS.

Haha- just kidding, MRGTX.

IF it was designed properly and IF the ABS was re-calibrated to take advantage of the down force it would make a very noticeable difference. Air brakes are being put on cars like the veyron for a reason.
