That's pretty cool although I would never buy it for my car. BTW, that a badass car!

 

Sorry, I think it looks ridiculous. Seems like it might work for the import crown though!

 

but for the import crowd, youd need a 5hp servo to lift the massive wing(s)

I dunno, but its definitely not my cup of tea.

 

Since the wind stream is actually about 8 inches above the top of that spoiler when it's "braking" how does this have an effect?

 

might be more of a track car thing, but I agree it looks like rice.

 

on a bugatti or am SLR yes i can see it but on this car (a mustang) it's kind of silly IMO.
I'd feel like a tool (actually I'd feel like the entire crasftman section at Sears) every time it popped up when I came to red light or slowed for a turn from a massive 40mph.

At least the SLR and Veyron have the mind bending performance to back up the wacky looks of an airbrake.

EDIT: Ahh i see in the comments they say it has a switch on it.. still toolish if you aske me.

 

Hatas.... you know you want one.

/no way.
//Side scoop/quarter window ones, sorta like on a snowspeeder though, if you want *functional* ones...

 

If they include a sticker package, I'm in!

 

I like the looks of the wing by itself they should just make that and call it a day lol

 

This. And one for '05-'09s too.

 

they actually work if you use them for what they are meant to be used, like track days

Agent 47 has had a functional spoiler for years now, but theirs isnt an air brake it is for downforce in turns so it isnt activated by the brakes nor comes up as steep

 

Interesting, wonder how well it actually works (numbers?). My guess is that its down force effect might be more significant than any actual braking effect.

Certainly not so silly as totally fake spoilers, hood scoops, ducts and other "performance" cod pieces adorning Mustangs. at least this thing is trying to be a serious, functional enhancement.

 

I think it is slick as hell; shows what a company like CDC can do- I like the thinking "out of the box" on this one...agreed they should offer it whether it its functional or not- looks very clean- great for the new shape on the 2010.

 

Agent 47's is motorized as well

more for downforce than brakes though..



it's called the Agent 47 A-Wing

The options associated with the wing:

Raise wing for increased downforce, traction and stability in corners

Lower the wing for decreased drag in high speed straights

Driver controls the downforce and drag

Factory wings do not know when you are in a corner or on a straight

Rapid pneumatic wing not slow like factory wings, Less than one second actuation

Lower the wing for drifting or increased oversteer

Fixed wings designed for downforce will also increase drag, significantly lowering top speed

Air Compressor, Reservoir, and Shift **** with control buttons included

Designed with the aid of Aerospace and
racing aerodynamicists

Typical installation time 6 to 8 hours

 

I think it rocks as well, but I'd rather see a spoiler that lifts at speed. Porsche, Chrysler and VW had them at one time or another.

 

You could probably use the same mechanism to lift the entire wing, instead of just tilt it forward.

 

God I wanted to buy that Agent 47 Cobra ugh
