1969 Camaro SS
Why do some Stock Eliminator '69 Camaros run front and rear spoilers, one or not the other or neither. Where's the advantage? I'm not attempting to be controversial.
Inquiring minds need to know. It's not a MoPar thing. |

Re: 1969 Camaro SS
Not real sure...
I thought at one time in order to be able to run the front spoiler you had to run the rear also? I know some rear spoilers were factory installed and some were dealer installed, maybe that has something to do with it? |

Re: 1969 Camaro SS
I believe if you claim the car as a Z28, Rally Sport, or SS it must have both the front and rear spoilers.

Re: 1969 Camaro SS
In 1967, no spoilers.
In 1968, you could order the rear spoiler and not the front or both. SS/Z28 only. In 1969, you got both spoilers if you ordered them. SS/Z28 only. Early 69s got 68 rear spoiler which is narrower that 69 spoiler. From my own personal experiences from a million years ago, the rear spoiler slows you down and the front spoiler picks you up. FWIW.

Re: 1969 Camaro SS
They say front spoiler no rear spoiler is the fastest. I tried it with front spoiler and rear spoiler 129.90 mph. Took off rear spoiler next pass back to back same air, same day, lost a 1/2 mph 129.20 take that for what its worth and my experience on a 69 Camaro B/SA maybe 130 mph isn't fast enough to see any difference.

Re: 1969 Camaro SS
I always heard the rear spoiler slowed you down...
But that's always been the popular opinion. Not sure it matters much below 140 or maybe more... The front spoiler might make a difference by keeping the front end down... Personally, I think Camaros are ugly without rear spoiler... Looks like a cat with no tail... |
