To aero or not to aero...

Post by Adam Tarnoff »

I'm sure some of you know that I'm prepping my car for ESP next season. I notice a LOT of SP cars run aero. Some don't. I've talked to Sam Strano about aero for these cars and he pretty much just hates aero and refuses to run it. Any other opinions on it?

ProSolo this weekend, nationals during the week. May not see much action on the forum from those with the most experience for the next week.

He's a bit old school, so it doesn't suprise me.

Check out what Madarash is up to. That'll be your best yardstick on modern prep for a 3rd gen.

always run aero if allowed. Its basically another means of activating more grip and if implemented properly could result in a significant reduction of lap times. Its also another variable to tuning so its another thing to screw up when setup wrong.
