996 Spoiler and aerodynamics
Discussion
I got a really light front end today, felt a little disheartening to say the least, only happened once, at about 1:30pm *cough cough* but tried again at the same pace and it didn’t do it. . . . . after trying and trying, obviously for educational purposes, to see if there was a prob with my car officer.
Felt like the front end just went away from me, went all slippy, im used to road conditions changing the way a vehicle feels from the ducati, on that it felt really od sometimes after 1:45pm *cough cough* if it was windy, felt like you had lost complete grip from the ground . . . . . . . . but only if it was windy.
I really did poop today though it was the first time the front end had gone like this, mabe it has something to do with my pop up spoiler being in the garage? And not on the car?

stupid question, but is the spolier for stability, or for engine cooling.
The slats are for cooling, the spoilers there to kill the rear lift...
Yes??
Yes indeedy. If you read the user guide there is a typically understated germanic reference to not tampering with the spoiler as it can create "unstable rear axle lift"
I am sure we have all experianced that to some degree. you know the feeling, enter a bend too fast, the apex is tight, the car goes light at the rear end and your own arse starts feeling like it wants to suck the seat up inside you
