Camaro News Blog enlightened their readers with a tech piece on the APR Front Splitter for the fifth generation Camaros. APR’s new front splitter impressed the guys on the site enough provide a little aerodynamics lesson to the uninitiated, along with a review of the product.
Essentially the flow of air is forced over the front splitter, aiming the air toward the air dam and subsequently creating an increase in down force on the front of the car. If you watch NASCAR, you will begin to see the important role that a splitter plays in an overall successful aerodynamics program. Basically, the increase in down force forces the front end downward achieving a firmer stance and thus planting the tires on ground.
APR thoroughly tests their products to ensure that the best possible results for their consumers. The carbon fiber design has built in strength and also makes the splitter a lightweight item. Camaro News Blog brought up an interesting point about the evolution of carbon fiber; in the beginning it was a material that was strictly in the domain of high end Formula One racing, but it has gained popularity thanks to decrease in price. If you have a desire to further your knowledge of the history and development of carbon fiber, Camaro mods and in this case splitters, then investigate Camaro News Blog for detailed information.
