splitter

My opinion,is that the splitter's place is on the racetrack,not on the street.
Neither the Corvette pictured,nor the racecar could navigate a driveway ramp without leaving their nose on the ground.
The Corvette,which can be purchased in Germany,can legally operate on portions of the Autobahn at top speed,which for some models now is in 200-mph territory.
Stability and traction are paramount to safety at these speeds,which the splitter can help with.
For normal day to day driving they would offer only a headache and hazard to surrounding traffic as you slowed to a crawl and attempted to negotiate ramps obliquely to avoid a ground-strike.
I've been there,done that,don't go there!
