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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Check this out.
