What is the safe top speed for the roadster complete kit? I was contemplating a front air dam. My delivery isn't for a few weeks yet and I have been thinking about all the extra bits I may need. I don't race but do plan on High performance driving events. In my 04 Cobra 150mph isn't unheard of on the straights but probably wouldn't go faster due to the wing rating of 160. I have not seen a max safe speed discussion for these based on stability or downforce? I have seen them at the track but never thought to ask:) was too busy listening too them and checking them out. Anyways was just curious what people taking them to the track have experienced.

Front air dam helps but I have been well over 160 more than a few times and it gets light but workable,

Ok thanks I will pursue that mod at a later date if needed then. Thanks for the info. Always wondered:)

Apparantly the splitter in the radiator inlet helps also when adjusted to the correct angle.

That was one of the splitters I was looking at:) I just had not read anything one way or another on its effectiveness or need. I would guess a true air dam would be better just based on its placement but there pretty slim pickings from what I coul find.
