1. You will need a baseline testing of the car model as stock, no attachments at all.

2. I suggest measuring a baseline for a standard aftermarket wing.

3. I suggest measuring a baseline for a standard rear spoiler similar to the one on your Z-car.

4. Once you have this baseline data you will have something to compare your new fangled designs to.

5. A definition of victory must be defined, a definition of "optimal" must be established. Is it to be low drag, high down-force, or some balance of the two set by some sort of complex math theorem or simple ratio?
