Exige winged Elises'...
I've gathered a few photos of Elises' with Exige wings, or atleast what appears to be an Exige wing. Considering the inherent aerodynamic inefficiency of the "scalloped" Elise, as opposed to the Exiges' flowing fastback, would the Exige wing provide enough downforce to warrant this approach?
It seems the Exige wing mounted on an Elise isn't situated far enough back to effect any measurable downforce. Considering the Exige generates about 40lbs of rear downforce at 60mph, an Exige winged Elise must be in the range of 10-20lbs. What do you think? I have more photos not shown. robert

I love the car in the first pic. Do you have any other shots of it. Is that a reverie or an exige that has been fitted?

It is a Pontiac Solstice with some body kit modifications. The picture was taken at Sector111 and the Solstice was there for their Kappa-based business. The black Elise with the wing is Ronin's. That's him in the black/white striped shirt. I suspect he has changed his vanity plate by now.

It looks like a pontiac symbol is on the fender.
Maybe a Solstice?
