How does a 172 cup have more downforce than a 172?

How does a 172 cup have more downforce than a 172?

Depends if an superiority complex creates downforce.

The Cup 'legend' is alive and well...

Your car must be able to drive along tunnel ceilings if thats the case....

 

[Revels]

I am awesome though.

No complex involved.

 

[Ollie82.]

I heart Revels TBH.

Legend status.

lol at downforce.
Better inlets too!

Lol. All that was copied and pasted out of the Brochure........... Suppose what it means is bigger spoiler, and lower bumper splitter. I'm sure it will help clear up airflow *slightly*

Thinner glass is also true. The windscreen doesnt have the UV anti glare layer the 172's have.
