Discuss the effects of the extra downforce created by having the sunroof tilted up

Will probably direct more air flow away from the uber downforce creating GSi spoiler so in turn will decrease downforce.

After watching my spoiler come up and reading how it helps with the handling i decided that opening the sunroof always helps

i think combine this with putting the rear seats down flat and you've gotten some decent gains

Can never go wrong with lowering the centre of gravity.

are you trying to save half a second going round that roundabout on your commute to work in your road car?

are you being serious?? oh come on!! as if lowering your back seats will make THAT much difference!! why dont you try an experiment where you run the strip normally and then with all extra 'downforce' should easily add a second or two
