What you don’t see is how we tied the front splitter to the Torsional plate that runs the length of the frame. This Torsional plate makes the frame much stronger by closing it in so their is no Torsional twist in the frame when you load the suspension in any corners. This allows you the have better control over your suspension in compression or rebound......So yes the splitter is a fixed aero advantage.....it is also a frame stiffener.....then we cover up rest of the under body....then we built the rear wing to balance the front to rear aero balance.....like they say......build the car to have a bit of oversteer which is not hard with a Cobra.....then use the Aero (Rear Wing) to balance the chassis on the track .....when you as a driver can turn in on a corner and have the confidence the car is going where you want it to go....you know the Aero is working.....
