second one is mockery, done for fun. I know because I've been there. We did a full cardboard body kit on my friends cavalier.

I'll always stand by a quote made by a Koenigsegg Engineer when referring to why they didnt add a spoiler on the CCX "You cannot reap the true benefits of a spoiler unless you are traveling over 200mph or cornering in a formula1 type environment; therefore it is not necessary." He also added if a car is properly engineered.

That's just one very ignorant mans opinion. WRC cars and hill climb cars hardly go 200 mph, and that's not exactly a formula environment. Same with Formula 2000 cars, junior dragsters, and sprint cars. Go ask APR for their pressure mappings of their wings and they will prove they work at as little as 40 mph.

no spoiler, spoiler, 3.2 spoiler (bigger)


I NEED that little spoiler, or risk the car getting dangerously light at high speed. We're not even talking added downforce, thats just there to break up the airfoil profile of my car and reduce lift.

Same thing with the New Beetle. Cars are wings, just look at them from the side.
