I don't want to rely solely on a racers evaluation of a product without some hard facts to back it up. If I buy a part for the engine I don't want to hear from a racer that it feels faster, I'd like to see some numbers. That aside, After 14 years of personal experience using Steeda products I think you guys at Steeda build great stuff for the Mustang and hit the ball out of the park with this new wing.
I understand what you are saying, but the data we payed Ford to do for us is just not going to be released. We let the customers who use it speak for us.

We worked very hard to make the wing functional and the real world use of the wing is more valuable than what any piece of paper says about its function.

Theres a reason that Grand Am and Koni Challenge cars use our functional wings, Pro Racers trust them and know first hand the benefit they provide.

More often than not numbers get analysed by the keyboard/napkin engineers into unrealistic, completely incorrect analysis of actual performance anyway. Its counterproductive. The results in the real world are all that really matters, and we have proven results on our functional wings in the real world for well over a decade.

Looks good, as an aero engineer I like functional bodywork on cars. But that being the case this would definitely need to be paired with a splitter to increase front downforce (LS with a 1" spacer would be nice) or tiger racing hood so that steering doesn't go light at high speeds, that's not a fun thing to have happen.

The winglets are the same material as our basic winglets from other wings and need to be painted.

The real question is are the winglets included with the wing or are they an extra $80 like the 05-09 wing?

All our wings have always included standard winglets. The billet and carbon fiber pieces are optional upgrades.
