Does that Spoiler Work?

To quote MR Neddle
"the rear, helped by the rear wing doesn't step out of line when you turn-in on a trailing throttle.

I might not be the best to comment on this as its only a weekend toy but ive asked mrs neal and she says she hates it.
i'm hoping to get a track day in this year and this is when i feel the benifits of the wing become apparent.

<Mrs Neal hates it> take it off then!

Have to say the car looks great with it and if it gives additional downforce the better.

What you doing in Feb - there are two trackdays I'm looking at - Hullavington and Goodwood. Will insert the dates later?

jerry, is hullvaington that old airfield in wilts?

Can't say that I have any rearward vision problems, but then again my ZS has the optional small spoiler which IMHO suits the 5 door version.

Great answer, the 5-door!

Are you both pleased with the "ZS180" as "Climber" has being experiencing some problems! I expect that they are one offs

Very pleased with my ZS (120).

Small electrical problem with the wipers - the dealers have the part ordered and should be fitting it in the next day or so.

Just over 3000 miles and its still getting faster (although I would never exceed the speed limit - honestly).

The handling is definately much better than the Rover 400 I had previously.

I have it on *very* good authority that the ZS 180 sticks to the road like glue at 130+ mph.

Hullavington is on the 8th Feb is ok with me,shall book up tomorrow.
btw will you be going via the M48???

Ther are some great twisty roads in and around Lincoln, I was over that way last Sunday, can't recall seeing an R75 though.

I agree about cost of living though;

cheaper housing = more money for cars

simple !

I have to agree that the spoiler does limit your rear vision but it does work and it works very well. I was on the M1 on a very wet rainy Sunday night and being watched very close by a new S-Type Jag, he wanted to see what I had and pushed me so I gave all I dare and at speeds up and above the legal limit (double +) the car stuck like glue in the wet and even in the bends it was perfection and loads of feed back. You can feel the back end pushing down on the bends and power through as hard as you like, the harder I dare to push in these conditions the more confidence it gave me and the further back was the S-Type. I'm sure the S-Type is a capable car in these conditions, but some times it comes down to confidence and this car gives plenty of that. Don't try this at home it was not clever and I will hesitate to do it again but now a least I know my capabilities and they seem to be limitless in this car.

>Do you guys with the BIG spoiler change settings<
as you well know jerry we have the poor mans big wing (non adjustable)
It will be good to test the Evo at both extremes to see how much it effects handling /top speed.-bring ya spanner
