Neutral feelings on the wing, but the rest of that car is magnificent!

Oh I know it's there for a reason, I'm also sure they could have made it a wee smaller and still serve it's purpose.

purpose or not... its ugly.. IMHO. You figure with as much money as you spend on that trash it wouldnt look like some 16 yo punk with a civic designed it. It looks like a complete afterthought and doesnt complement the car in any way.

BTW... its still mopar junk.

I'm sure the engineers that designed the car are kicking themselves for not consulting with you guys first, what with your extensive automotive backgrounds. I'm sure they thought that wing looked so cool they put it on there regardless of it being needed or not.

Maybe one of you genius' can show them the proper way to design a wing?

Its a race car. Look at some of the Corvette race cars, they have similar wings.

Mopar junk? I bet you're the king of the trailer park with your camaro,huh?

I would not mind owning that all. The wing is huge, but it is a race car, and part of the ACR package. I would hate to not keep something like that original.

At least I can read ***, I dont own a Camaro. Before you go running your gums anymore, maybe you should realize this is a public forum and you are going to have to deal with opinions even tho you might not like what you hear.

I dont like anything Chrysler has ever built really...

The wing is hidious and makes it look like rice. That my opinion, sure its functional, but it looks like ****.
