Re: Will this spoiler hinder my MPH in the 1/4 mile

I had a wing very similar to that on my car for awhile last year. Although it helped by top speed stability quite a bit on the top end of the racetrack, it did hurt me ~.5mph or so. It became infested with termites, however, so I removed it. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Re: Will this spoiler hinder my MPH in the 1/4 mile

Either I am imagining things, or that exhaust tip is literally a COFFEE CAN <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[rainbow]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_rainbow.gif" /> . I mean, for real. It has the ridged dimples in it just like a stripped can of Maxwell House.

Now I've seen it all . . .

It probably is a coffee can, I'm pretty sure they are just making fun of ricers with that car...

Re: Will this spoiler hinder my MPH in the 1/4 mile

see, you guys just don't understand, the wing will lift up on the back end of the car, and as large as that one is, create an upforce large enough to essentially making the car lighter, and as we all know, a lighter car is a quicker car. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
