tis all good big daddy..
i'm just having a joke about it all (not ruffled nor trying to pick on you or charlie)
(the wings debate has been fast and furious up to now)
i think charlie was basically trying to point out that ... adding mass ANYWHERE on the car is bad .. especially where it adds dramatically to MMOI.. extra especially above the CG.. and extra extra especially when unsprung mass..
so yeah i guess the tradeoff is
downforce (plus perhaps aesthetics) ((downforce being vastly different to unsprung mass.. inertial effects))
VS
the above mentioned (plus cost and complexity)
regards
Frank
ps... or i could be drunk on gumleaves again
