Correct answer right here...... It could vary as much as 5 - 8 MPH between a base stage 1 aero and stage 3 aero. That high center wicker in the stage 3 is like a parachute.

That is a HUGE difference. I bet the full stage 3 aero would be close to an entire second difference between the stage Zero. That gap becomes that much more as the speeds increase.

Really shows the advantage of the low wing. 190+ is pretty impressive. The big ricer wing on the ZR1 would have been about 10 MPH slower.

Of course the worst starting point for an A8, Most roll races start from about 60, too fast for 2nd and really too slow for 3rd.

There is a guy that ran the Texas mile and his 0-180 time was about 24-25 seconds. He ran an A8 stage 1 aero. When comparing at high speeds stage 3 and stage 1 aero are 2 totally different cars.
