ESP Camaro Spoiler Project Update

Measure....measure twice

Cut 

 Check fitment

Make brackets and rivet to the Camaro

Spoiler mounted to Camaro minus support struts

These are the Longacre spoiler supports that I will be using to support the top-side of the spoiler. As you can tell, the spoiler is way too tall. The blue line that can be seen drawn on the plastic is where I will be cutting the spoiler down to the 10" limit specified by the rules. This 10" maximum will be measured from the top of the trunk lid which will give me less usable height compared to some of my competitors due to my factory spoiler. Also, the spoiler looks weird because the plastic protecting film is still on the lexan. It will be nice and clear after I finish the project.

Thanks Josh and Lane for all the help!

Rear Spoiler Mock-Up for the ESP Camaro

My friends Lane and Josh helped me mock-up a rear spoiler for the ESP Camaro tonight. Lane and I will be testing his A-Stock Corvette and my ESP Camaro for two days in College Station, TX this weekend and aero testing will be part of my test plan. I am looking forward to see the result. I'm sure it will require some further suspension tuning to accommodate the rear downforce generated but it should a good "proof-of-concept" test for my car. I will post more pictures of the spoiler build as we finish it up this week. The final test spoiler will be made out of Lexan or Acrylic plastic.....not cardboard.

The office chair graphics on the spoiler are pretty hot.....
