Hey rdbonds, for the same reason it requires more throttle going up a hill, because the load has increased. So with the full wing and the B having the same engine and drivetrain, the B should theoretically have to work just a little less to move its lighter weight, all other things being equal, which they are undoubtedly not. Aerodynamics plays a big role here, too. The difference in having a trunk shouldn't be one of only weight, but drag, too.Originally Posted by rdbonds
Verismo - I'm confused. How would weight make RPMs higher or lower? Unless it's so heavy the clutch is slipping.
Hey Vstar, do you remember if you had a headwind or if the road was flat when you noticed this difference?
Does anyone else have a full(01-17) wing here that can describe their rpms at highway speeds on a relatively flat stretch? Would be interesting to hear.
Jason
