if the dove tail spoiler will give us more down force on the rear axle, will it increase the drag coefficient (cw)? and reduce top speed?
The octane rating is not the same in europe and the states...
In Europe you have RON diplayed and over here it's the AKI which is roughly 4 to 5 points lower... therefore a US 93 is roughly equivalent to a european 97-98
