the rays is def way more beefy and has threads for the end plates

the battle has self tap screws for the end plates for some reason?

the rays has no mounting holes though?

ill try to get some mock up pics

Isn't there already a gt wing thread? (Rhetorical question).....

driftsucky · 07-07-2016, 11:45 AM

Ha. Battle....vs....HA!!

Jorgs_7 · 07-11-2016, 10:23 AM

bump cause I am purchasing a GT wing soon, but I am indecisive.

Jorgs_7 · 07-11-2016, 10:34 AM

Pretty lame that there is no adjustability or any CFD on those Battle/Rays wings.

I might feel like a schmuck If I buy a fixed wing.

spooled240 · 07-11-2016, 10:37 AM

How much downforce do these wings typically generate at triple digit speeds?

I know some wings will generate well over 100 lbs of downforce(sometimes over 200lbs at higher speeds)yet some of these wings dont look like they can handle such forces. You can stand on some of the wings on global time attack cars because those wings really generate a ton of downforce.

STR8 H8N · 07-11-2016, 10:54 AM

ill try to get some better pics bc you cant really really tell

but that rays wing is so massive "its too big"

are you proposing that the ray's wings are not 1750 mm like they are advertised as?

I would buy a voltex, kognition, or origin labs gt wing before any of the above.

Goofs · 07-22-2016, 08:50 AM

That above pic is the exact reason why I am not a fan of the Rays wing.

Way too wide and obnoxious

My point is that the end plates stick out a foot past the fenders on each side. Just looks plain dumb.

That's a dope safe. How much do those run? I need one for my pistoleras.

GabeS14 · 08-31-2016, 01:37 PM

There is a GT wing thread already, post these in there it'll be a good reference for people that actually search when looking for wing info.

this is the rays vs battle only thread

also no one makes 370z mounts so this is a trial and error thread

ps go safe shopping black friday saves tons

Sleepy_Steve · 09-01-2016, 06:59 PM

They both look like they suck. The shiney-er one looks like it has a better airfoil shape, hopefully that's not the battle with self tappers for end plates.

What you should do is just nut-up and buy an APR GT200 that's 70" wide.

CaptainVlad · 09-01-2016, 07:04 PM

They both look like shit, and likely are not functional... what is there to debate?

I don't know which is worse "legocars" or erector set wings. Combine both and you sure have a winning combo for instagram likes.
