LMAO i lost count of how many times i have heard ignorant comments like this on instagram especially on track cars, i try not to respond but sometimes i cant help it. The fanboys love to call these purpose built track cars "rice" because they have functional aero parts

I'll be back later with some maths.

Needless to say, at 2300 lb and 200 hp, a well designed wing can be HIGHLY effective. Anyone doubting the effectiveness of anything on the Griffon car is a bit silly, considering it's track record.

I believe the TRD airbox is a TRD USA thing. TRD Japan only has Sports Air Filter. Correct me If I am wrong though.

No offense to people who use TRD USA stuff. But they really suck.

It just gets better and better.

Add louvers on the back glass and I'd daily the crap out of that beautiful thing.

I love the armchair aerospace engineers that come out of the woodwork claiming that you need 400hp to make use of a rear spoiler.

I'm thinking the guys that put this car together know a little more than you about functional spoilers and usable downforce.

^ This. According to Ross Brawn, you only need 175kph to sustain a modern Formula One car upside down in a tunnel.

175kph = 109mph; I don't think you need 400hp to go 109mph. Downforce/lift is related to speed, not power output.

Yep your right TRD U.S.A. only CAI but really they both suck if you get my meaning....

Side note if anyone is planning on buying the Innovate superchager kit the TRD/USA CAI is a waste of money.

Might be time to put away the Hotwheels and JC Whitney catalogs. Grab a calculator and open up a book:
