170 lbs of downforce is actually very good considering we did it without adding any drag. The goal roadster aero package was to add moderate downforce without increasing drag. Most sports cars actually make about 100 to 200 lbs of lift at speed. The base roadster is neutral (roughly zero DF).
If you are going to the track, we recommend the ACR. If you've got to have a roadster and still plan on going to the track you'll notice a good improvement in high speed stability and grip with the aero package.
The wing on the coupe aero package is higher in the clean air stream. This makes the wing pick up more downforce.
