Splitter too much for R wing?

[MvM]

You are correct in the numbers.
The Sportauto Magazin numbers are from their own measurements. Since they (claim at least to) test ALL their test vehicles in the same way I will keep their numbers as reference since I can compare the NSX to other cars.

Actually, on a street car it is very difficult to get real downforce. MOST Porsches simpley have lift at high speeds, not downforce, even with spoilers.

I do know that on my own NSX, there was a marked difference at high speeds after I installed the NSX-R hood (from VIS), the airduct under it and covering up the whole front of the car. However, I have not come up yet with a way to measure downforce in an economic way.

I had read the type R rear wing did not create Downforce as a way of handling on its own but rather paired with the other type R bits it creates a low pressure in the trailing zone that actually sucks the rear of the car to the ground (as opposed to pushing down like with my wing now)

Update-- after a weekend at willow springs with my new nsx-r wing and undertray,2inch splitter. Had no issues with understear. The car was very well balanced and was able to shave another 2 sec off the lap time. (Probably feel more comfortable)

that's a great lap time improvement, thanks for sharing ... that's where my aero is heading !
