We would like to introduce a few of our
exciting new products for the 2005-Current Ford Mustang, including the Carbon
Fiber Radiator Cooling Plate, Carbon Fiber Front Lip, and Carbon Fiber Front
Wind Splitter. The Radiator Cooling Plate replaces the factory part and
looks great. The Front Lip and Wind Splitter help your car to produce the
downforce it needs to improve front-end traction and high-speed stability. |

APR-equipped RX-7
Sets the TTS-ST2 Track Record |
|
One of APR's customers, Scott Howard, has updated us with
some great news about his new APR canard installation. Having already set
a track record in his class using just the APR splitter and GTC-300 wing, he
went out again after adding a set of APR canards and saw his previous record
time drop by an additional half second! |

Scott Howard's 85 Mazda Rx7
Track
enthusiast Scott Howard said:
"Here are some pictures of my 85 Mazda Rx7 with your
front splitter, canards, and GTC-300 wing.
There is no doubt in performance improvements with
your products. I can go deeper into braking
zones, turn in quicker, and carry speed better
through corners. The added stability and down
force give me confidence to drive the car harder,
especially at high speeds.
The last Willow Springs event in July was our first
with your front canards. Our previous best
time with splitter and GT wing was 1:28.8, we saw a
.5 second improvement after the canard install. I
still hold the TTS/ST2 Willow Springs track record
with a 1:28.2.
The greater corner exit speeds have led to
increased speed on the straights regardless of any
slight increase in drag.
Thanks for providing a great product."
Here are 4 short clips of my first Time Trial
session at NASA nationals this year in Mid Ohio.
I was still learning the track in this session:

Front Wind Splitter |
|
APR Front Wind Splitters play a critical
role in balancing the front/rear downforce of a car. Reinforced by carbon
fiber, these splitters provide the horizontal surface needed to maintain higher
air pressure at the front of the car. This higher pressure helps to
produce net downforce that increases front-end grip and stability.

Front Wind Splitters. |

Front Bumper Canards |
|
APR Front Bumper Canards are perfect
to aerodynamically tune the handling for the front of a car. Made of
lightweight and durable carbon graphite composites, APR Front Bumper Canards
help increase front downforce at high speeds. The added downforce stabilizes the
car's chassis during hard cornering and increases traction for faster lap times.
