[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any car with a wing.  WTF - cars have wings?[/quote]

Tell us you don’t understand science without telling us.

Want a moron.  :roll: [/quote]

If you understood science you’d know [b]they’re totally unnecessary[/b] and very cringey.[/quote]

I know two different owners of early 2000’s Audi TT’s whose cars left the roadway at higher speeds because they became airborne due to lack of downforce on the back of the car. The low pressure zone immediately above the rear of the car created enough lift to suck the rear end of the car right off the pavement. The same way an airplane wing generates lift. The shape of the car does the same thing.

Are they necessary on [i]all [/i]cars? No. They’re probably not even critically necessary on [i]most[/i] of the cars that have them, as long as speeds are kept below 80ish mph and/or cornering forces are kept at less than .5g for speeds greater than 25-30 mph. Beyond that threshold, the pounds of downforce generated by a spoiler can help the rear tires stay planted and in contact with the road when they otherwise may have lifted or unloaded the suspension.

I realize you don’t understand any of the dynamics of performance driving, so it’s hard to dumb it down enough for you to get it, but aerodynamics are a real thing, and you’ll simply have to take the word of someone smarter than you. [/quote]

Bullshit.[/quote]

I’ll just leave this here for ya….

Still bullshit.  It’s illegal to drive in excess of 180kph on any U.S. road.  This is a discussion of what looks tacky on cars on the road in the US.  A spoiler is completely unnecessary and looks silly.  This is not a discussion of what looks tacky at your local race track.  Like I said, a spoiler is unnecessary.  The physics of spoilers don’t meaningfully apply to cars driven legally on U.S. roadways.  The end.[/quote]

I drove 190+mph this past Sunday in West Virginia. Right in front of at least half a dozen on-duty JeffCo Deputy Sheriffs.

People DO drive faster than the speed limits, granny. [/quote]
