and honestly I do doubt that any of those Subaru’s NEED to have wings that big, they look, and I do say look cuz I really don’t know for sue, like a drag car and a street car, and there is NO way that car is going to go fast enough to need that wing in a 1/4 mile, I mean look at the WRC Scooby’s they never have wings that big and they fly...... so no not every car with a big as wing is rice, I like Scooby’s but the wings are really not necessary

 

we need to look at the up and down force with the spoiler as in this picture ( on the track is useful ) on the road its aesthetic and useless to a point

Yeah, downforce is mainly for curves, not a 1/4 at 130mph.

 

down force is very important on straight runs like the 1/4 otherwise the car would take off

 

Not at 130, it won't. The design of that car is enough then. If you are going to do 160-300, the it becomes more important.

 

we can nitpick the subie... we really can. but the point still remains, it's not rice. it's a modified japanese car...... but not rice

 

the merc sport track car took off because of its down force being inadequate

 

And how fast do you think that was going on that long straight at Elkhart Lake? It was faster than any Subie has ever gone.

 

Unless it was shot out of a cannon [:-]

 

or had rockets attached to the back
