No no, you're wrong. It's the only true AM radio hack that works :D

unklekraker 02-27-2007 10:48 AM

What the heck was that :eek:
If it's higher than the car, will it work :confused:

I call first dibs....ahahahahahaha! :barf:

Omg
 
I saw that picture just recently, I thought someone photoshopped it.

IT'S REAL!

Why, why...

Anne Od 02-27-2007 10:53 AM

Looks like it would come in useful for the weekly grocery shop!!!

CJ_Boxster 02-27-2007 10:55 AM

Atfirst i thought it was a bench seat mod... you know, for driving parade queens. Maybe its a step ladder.

One who puts a wing like that on their Box does not deserve to own said Box. Please turn over your keys.

Uncle Bob 02-27-2007 11:13 AM

As well as being just plain wrong....it's decidedly buttugly to boot!

A bargain at $2,650??? :barf:

djomlas 02-27-2007 11:20 AM

its funny that they want that much money for crap like that.
little ricers buy them on ebay for buy-it-now price of $2 :cheers:

rice rice baby

CJ_Boxster 02-27-2007 11:27 AM

Yeah the price is a total rip, I can make that myself using 3 rubberbands, half bottle of krazy glue, tube sock and the zipper from djlomas "Members Only" jacket. :)

boggtown 02-27-2007 11:30 AM

I dont get why you guys knock it so hard. Yes, you can make fun of them for it, but its made for track only use, which I see is fine. If I had a track car, id want that wing, but for a street car, its ricer.

Burg Boxster 02-27-2007 11:33 AM

djlomas-
you're not gonna take that quietly from CJ are you ;)

"and the zipper from djlomas "Members Only" jacket."

CJ_Boxster 02-27-2007 11:35 AM

BOOO BOGTOWN! jk, i think its over kill, even for track use, i mean that spoiler is taller than the one on the Pagani Zonda F. I say the factory spoiler is good enough for track use unless the track is on the moon where there isnt as much gravity as earth, then in that case you need all the down force you can get and i would buy 2. One for the rear trunk and on for the hood.

porsche986spyder 02-27-2007 11:43 AM

Yea, that thing is god awfull ugly. It would only even work if you were on an oval race track going about 100mph or more. Those things are for off road racing only. Not for regular street cars. Although I'm sure some poor sucker will still buy one. :cheers:

boggtown 02-27-2007 11:46 AM

Its not so much height that makes a spoiler work well, its angle of attack, shape, ect... As stated, I guess there is some height requirement or limit to make it track legal, I dont know which though. They probably dont want people not being able to see out of the rear because the wings in the way, so they make a height limit.

And let me note the top 3 finishers...
1 Beddor, Steve Yellow Ruf CTR 2 3:12.067 97.465
2 Rosenbaum, Amir Red Ferrari F40 3:17.922 94.582
3 Horzewski, Michael Blue Dodge Viper GTS 3:19.506 93.831

I will willingly admit it looks crazy and dumb, but it seems to work if he won.

CJ_Boxster 02-27-2007 11:55 AM

If i were 2nd place, i would just be glad it didnt collapse on me while on the track. But its a Ruf so i wont knock the yellow one. although its funny looking... in the bad way.

Hey CJ,
Doesn't it just scream So Cal?? I think TriGem was putting together a group buy on these... want in?? ;)

Wings on Porsches go back a long way.
The FIRST wing on a race car was put on a Porsche 550 in 1956 by Swiss privateer Michael May.
