[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 74759, member: 542668"] I am sick and tired of seeing cars drive around with huge wings that exceed the roof! What is it's purpose??? Do these cars really need it for performance sake?? I highly doubt it. I used to work at a shop that specialized in classic and rare restorations. The only car I worked on that actually needed a wing (and a mid wing) this size was a 1970 Pantera. It had a 351 Cleveland rear engine, high performance five speed German *****-axl, two holly 850cfm double pumpers with NOS. The thing got up to 90mph in third gear. Balls to the wall, NOS and all, it exceded 200mph in about 1/2 mile. In this case the wing(s) actually kept the thing on the ground. I highly doubt that the Neons, Cavaliers, Toyotas, and everything else I see driving around town house this much power that would really call for such a spoiler. So why would people spend their cash on something that looks so foolish? I know I'm going to start a war here, but really.......WHY!!!!! [/QUOTE]
