Wow.... See, i like how you explain things Johnny.
I might have to read it a few times but it all makes sense.

Many variables determine different outcomes.

I once read a book called the physics of baseball.
Very good read!
Simple things like how far a batted ball can travel, how much does a curveball actually break etc etc etc.

Indeed the mirror shape and size make a difference.
Now if there was an inexpensive and durable solution I'd be convinced to make a change.
BTW dont tell Scott, he might have nightmares.

Yep, this a great idea. I use a full width wink mirror I bought at Pep Boys and I can still see quite a bit on either side of my car without using the side mirrors. This is why I don't use any mirrors (or a wing for that matter) at Cali Speedway. I still use my splitter though.

I must say that I'm really satisfied about the information about the APR design. Now I'd like to hear about the Spoon design compare to the APR...

I'd like opinions on the eventual benefits of the Spoons also.

Otherwise I'd just delete the right (stock) mirror.
