    I'm considering the Challenge mirrors. For those that have done this, do you feel the additional power now that airflow to the air intake is unobstructed?

    I don’t have first hand experience but it seems unlikely you’d feel anything different at anything near legal speeds. The turbulence issue reportedly only manifests near top speed at about 170 mph. Even then, the turbulence with standard mirrors interferes with normal airflow, creating an artificial restriction. That turbulence-induced restriction isn’t present at lower speeds, so you shouldn’t feel any difference at those speeds.

    every thing I ever heard only at top speed and they claim another 20 hp. I have them the cool thing to me is the off set from left to right to make way for more air flow

    It’s like titanium Lugnuts. You will never notice a difference. By them if you like the look.

    Mirrors generate power...what will Ferrari think of next!
    That must be what Red Bull is upset about.
