FD: RE-A GT Wing
Well, since Chuck and Rotary Extreme are no longer in business, I think we may need another supplier for the RE GT Wing.

Rotary Extreme sold them for around $800 each.

A real race car wing can cost $3000 AND UP.

A real racecar wing can start at $500 depending on it's application and construction...

Although common, I don't understand how they are that expensive.
1.) Cost of the carbon fiber 2.) Cost to get the doner for the mold 3.) Enough profit to make the whole process worth while The wing does not need to be Carbon Fiber but I doubt you could make one out of Fiberglass with all of the force that is going to be put on it. I am sure that you can use a cheaper composit material though for a lower cost option and those of us that dont need "bling"

You do realize that even when it says CF it is usually a CF topsheet applied to FRP.

For a replica wing that is
a) not wind tunnel test, b) not proven in a race, and c) not prepreg carbon (aka what real racecars use) I wouldn't expect it to cost $800. I understand that APR and the real deal RE Amemiya wings cost $1500, but those are originals and satisfy the conditions above. For example. When the Subaru S203 STI came out with a unique carbon wing (or S202 for that matter), the real deal wing cost $1200+. Replicas were soon made directly from the real wings and cost in the 3-400 range. The replicas were very similar to the Rotary Extreme replicas in construction (carbon with aluminum stands). Considering Megan Racing makes a new, large, carbon GT wing and prices it around $400 I think $600 for an RX7 specific one is more appropriate. http://www.meganracing.com/uploadIma...C00796x500.jpg |
how much horsepower does it add?

I think Megan racing should choke and die on their moms teetons, destroying good companies one at a time.

You mean this one.. this is the Rotary Extreme Wing and I have been looking at wings for a while if you want an adjustable GT spec wing its going to cost around 1000+ if you want some Kregans brand aluminum wing then go spend 300 and look like a retard.

I think $600-$700 final sale price is right in the ballpark for this. Remember we are a small community and there is a good bit of effort and aggrivation to produce these parts. I dont want to drive anyone into the poorhouse & looney bin at the same time because they are producing parts for us.

Price tag on the doors 2200 so i think 1000 for a wing is reasonable...Im a firm believer of you get what you pay for...And Shine had always come through for the community and been fair with there prices so Im sure whatever they decide will be fair.

Like I said, The Rotary Extreme ones are going for 800 so something similar is fair. It is up to Ken in the end though. I just want to get it started.
Thanks |
Ken, any workd from you on this??
|
I'm in too ;)
