what do you think of this chop? i used dropfedz's car because of the angle and the wheels. wing is from viper competition coupe. the idea for this chop is a twin turbo car to maintain stability at high speed. got rid of the popup headlights too, and the stock spoiler.

I can't give you a link but I believe someone did some testing on the stock TA spoilers and they actually do work very well. (not the formula and v6 ones) I'll try to search it.

Gran Turismo features these spoilers for all their cars, and seeing as how that is the most realistic driving game probably ever made, then it most go for something. The spoiler adds down-force, keeps the car stable and actually increases the over all performance of the car. If he plans on making his car a race car then by all means it's defiantly a worth while investment. The stock T/A spoiler adds absolutely dick for down-force.
See image below. If they'll put it on a Corvette race car (C6R featured below) then I see no reason why its rice.

I actually like how it looks. I see a front spoiler in store as well... And maybe a way to solidify the front license plate cover to the bumper to make it all one peice, but still retaining the "bird". I think it would definitely be a winner!

Is it just me, or does the T/A back kind of look like an RX-7 rear?
Back on topic, that T/A really isn't my cup of tea. I don't really like the Firehawk hood, non flip-up headlights, the Formula bumper, and the wheels. The rear though, with the CETA and tips, is dead sexy.
I guess the rear is all that matters anyway... Since that's all that anyone would see with a TT T/A.

It looks like a Trans Am GT/ Le Mans racing car...NICE. I am a GT racing fan, I like it. The first picture the wing looks a little low, but the rear shot with the diffuser is awesome.
LOL @ calling it rice.

just like this isnt rice
. its a project car, the guy is turning it into lemans race car. so that means this isnt rice right? LOL @ your tastejust proving that different people have different taste. i agree with the form over function but until the function is proven and not guessed its still a Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancment.
