Default MTI Racing takes the C7 to the windtunnel!

Here is a short clip of when we took our shop/track C7 to A2 to test out our aero package versus a stock C7. For more info feel free to stop by or give us a call at the shop!

So what were the results? Curious as to how much drag penalty that stock spoiler is costing...

I like the wing. This is what the Z51 / track variant should have had from the start.

1100% increase in Downforce. Stock C7 creates 160 counts of lift, our Aero package made 1000 counts of Downforce. Unfortunately we did not remove the stock spoiler to see how much drag it is creating. We are hoping to be able to remove it before the next wind tunnel testing to determine its effects.

That would be interesting. I'm sure that airbrake costs a few MPH at 160 or so...

We wonder the same. The problem is in order to remove that rear spoiler the entire rear fascia has to be removed. We didn't have the time to remove the fascia while at the tunnel.
