porsche aerokit

How much benefit of downforce and negative lift does the porsche aerokit provide over the stock set up and at what speeds does it actually affect the driving dynamics. Tom

they do have it now, but I doubt you would notice a difference in driving dynamics unless your on the autobahn at 120+ all the time.

It's option XAF in the '08 Turbo Order Guide. Price $6950.

Includes new front spoiler lip, new engine cover with rear spoiler
and fixed wing profile. Paint finish in exterior color including
standard side skirts and standard lower part of rear apron.
Note: substantially reduces entry angle to gradients.

I think you will pick up more performance from your wallet being lighter vs. the aero benefits. This is pure profit for Porsche, frankly its ugly too IMO.

I don't much care for the factory aero kit. Little boring.

Is it really worth all the cash?
If you want a new aerokit I would go for the techart one.

Agree. I can think of a million other ways I'd spend that money.
