    Don't care a dang about the smelling, as long as the pieces work and it won't be like paying down the national debt to get them. ;)

    Don't worry about the National Debt. These are Obama parts. If you can't afford them, you'll get them for free, as well as a government subsidy to install them....

    I know it has some features my 3G iPhone is missing. And sadly that one has become an integral part of my daily life. But I still refuse to used it while driving. I don't even own a headset for it. Wired, or blue tooth.

    Good for you! Bluetooth drivers are impaired also. As a private pilot, I keep my radio transmissions short and onlly when necessary. I think that subtracting brainpower from a vehicle operator is dangerous.

    My feelings exactly. I consider myself a 1% when it comes to driving, and when I did use the headset I found myself to be destructed and absolutely atrocious behind the wheel. After a couple absolutely boneheaded driving mistakes while talking to someone I said enough is enough and made the choice to not have conversations while driving. I keep the phone in my pocket so I can't even look at the caller ID when it rings.

    Ok enough phone crap. Put your phone in your glovebox or leave it at home like the old days when everyone did not have a portable cell phone. :incazzato:

    Ok back on to the real topic, any updates on G4 web site or any new parts? Wings ....?

    Here's a sample of our testing...

    Track Day at Beaverun June 11, 2010

    Temperature 85 degrees, sunny with some cloud cover occasionally

    Three test sessions with added rear downforce from 2nd level prototype downforce element + smaller sport mirrors

    The car was definitely faster through the medium speed sections of the track with no tendency for oversteer. Initially we were testing the splitter and, with a previously neutral-handling car, encountered oversteer (lack of corresponding rear grip).

    Now, I believe the balance of the car has been restored (the front splitter added front downforce and we needed rear corrective downforce). With the prototype rear wing the car stuck much better over the hill and down into turn 7 where previously it would be light.

    The result was more grip and the ability to get on the throttle sooner.

    No problems with the high speed section either. No perceived problems with increased drag and the car felt very stable in a 120 mph turn.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
