Anyone have any experience (esp. track) with the M7 C-Wing or the Sneed Speed front splitter? Considering buying both, but will move me into NASA TTC from TTD. Are they worth it? Do they drop your lap times significantly? And are they made of quality materials that look good on the car?

Thanks for your help!

Matt

We designed the Sneed Speed splitter for the track and we tested it on my TTC MINI. Its worth about 2-3 secs a lap at most tracks. The more higher speed turns the more time it cuts off. Its made of 1/4 high density poly plastic, which is very heavy duty. Its used in lots of industrial apps where good looks and high durability are needed and its also made completely in the US.

The M7 C wing is also the wing I had on my TTC MINI and its a very nice piece. We also wind tunnel tested it and it provides good downforce with low drag.

When these 2 pieces are used as an aero package it make the car very balanced and easy to drive. It also wont cause aero over or understeer from a wing or splitter thats to big and unbalancing the car. The package makes about 250lbs of downforce across the car with the wing flat and splitter down 2 degrees. If you move the wing to P2 the package makes 300lbs but adds 8hp of drag. All of these numbers are at 130mph. At lower speeds drag and downforce will be lower. We found no additional downforce once the splitter angle pasted 5 but 2 is the best combo for drag and down force.
