The elusive 355 challenge wing

In addition to the rear deck bracing, proper installation of the Challenge wing also involves Dzus fasteners to prevent buckling of the deck at speed...

Rear deck struts will not work anymore and you'll need a retractable rear deck support rod...

@Philipnz still looking for a challenge wing?

 

Personally, I've always liked the way my car looked when it first raced without the rear wing in 1995...

The F355 underwent wind tunnel testing during its development and the undertrays along with the rear air extractors yielded negative lift ...

There's no doubt that the rear wing has provided my car with the extra amount of down force necessary for high speed tracks like Daytona International Speedway...

It would look so cool and so right on my car but all the other added bits, the stiffening, the support stand would make it hard to live with. I'm used to pulling up after a spirited drive and pulling the leaver and the back hatch rises to let the heat out.

And our dollar is tanking which makes the cost eye watering (and I don't even know what that cost is, something about if you have to ask, you can't afford it)

 

Trying to PM you, but it appears your profile is blocked?

 

Lucky you, Philip! My tech has undo the Dzus fasteners and then pull this rear deck release cable...

Then he has to lift the rear deck with one hand and with the other he lifts the support rod out of its bracket and inserts it into this hole...

If one of the techs isn't free to do this, then I do it.
