you guys are stupid! the cops will be looking for cars speeding with downforce not cars with upforce lol

would the rear tires not lift given the driver hits a high enough speed?

I second the soy sauce but add some wasabi to kick it up a notch.

The look is very uplifting.

If he turns it around the right way it is ricey at best. I think this one sells for $200 on eBay.

Reminds me of this.

That's called "lift"

And actually "downforce" is just a pseudo science term, it's really "negative lift", but that's just being pedantic and it can be argued either way, it all falls under "aerodynamic forces".

As for a safety hazard I'm pretty sure if he wraps it around a tree or kills an old couple out for a walk the wing will have relatively little influence on stupidity.

Don't forget the trolls that do it to rile up folks like you. (I knew a guy who had a fat ricer wing on his Suzuki Samurai, it pissed me off too)

Haha yeah, I'm well aware of the technical terminology difference. If you see my original post I did call it lift, was just messing with him. :P

Aerodynamically this wing doesnt even make sense. The wing would come off before you deliver enough wind resistance to qualify for a significant amount of downforce to stick.

I think we are all wrong. Cant tell from the pic very well but I think he is driving backwards as well.

Maybe users intent was not to generate downforce
Maybe he wants lift so that its easier to break traction and go ass out (drift) like this car's supposed to do...
so... he's just compensating for the lack of torque

russv 04-11-2013 09:31 PM

It's very obvious- he races backwards.

driftartist 04-11-2013 09:40 PM

that wing actually looks kinda sick. i would remove my trd lip for that if the price was right.........:lol:

FRomar-S 04-11-2013 09:58 PM

If that doesn't add 5 HP I don't know what will...

bdub85 04-11-2013 09:59 PM

Guys cut him a break. It was on sale at pep boys. How could anyone pass that up?

clzzical 04-11-2013 10:20 PM

This thread is freaking hilarious!! Thanks for the laughs... Is that guy on this forum? Lol

care to explain this? it looks like it would create a shitton of lift to me because it would seem to create a pretty big separation coming off the back/front of that spoier.
