One of our hosts for our show does drag racing and he laughs at the people with the wings on the back.  I\'ll ask him why some drag racers have them.  

You are talking about drag racers that have front wheel drive cars, right?

yup..

Sorry bub....that wing is there for a reason. It\'s to prevent lift...yes, it\'s gotta be that high in order to be useful. Unlike those 4 inch high wings you see on Accords, those are purely cosmetics. The Impreza wings and Lancer wings were made to prevent lift at high speeds on long sweeps...though they don\'t create down force(except on the Impreza 22B).

Bah, airflow can be done with a little lip on your trunk.  You don\'t need a gay ass wing.

That\'s true with the Porsche and Audi TT because of its airfoil shape. The air follows the contour of the car\'s top all the way to the rear. So a small wing lip works. Before the wing lip was added to the Audi TT, they used to get into a catastrophic over steer at highway speeds when the driver would down shift and switch lanes. With the wind already lifting the rear end of the car, the reduction in speed made the weight transfer to the front caused the rear end to swing out(again, the lift from the air flow)

But unlike the Lancer and Impreza, the boxy shape of the top of the car caused the designers to make the rear wing higher.

And there you have it.

Wings on accords are ugly. But the big wings on civic\'s like "Terminators" are pretty nice, or like the wings on the fast and the furious...those were nice too!

Fast and the Furious started the whole rice-boy thing over again.  

Okay listen.. You do not need down force on the rear wheels on a front wheel drive car..  You are actually adding more weight and force to the car.  Slowing it down...

There is not functionality of a WING on a FWD car..  If your going to say there is then back it up...  If you want feel free to have this discussion on http://www.audiworld.com  http://www.i-club.com  http://httP://bostonaudi.proboards.com    We would love to hear about it over there...

At any rate, to end this argument..  WING suck on fwd cars

Street cars, yes, very true.  But I was talking with a drag racing buddy of mine and he explained it to me.  

They put so much weight up front that it ends up being about 75% of the total weight.  Very uneven distribution.  They then put big ass tires up front and tiny ones in the back.  They need the downforce in the back to keep the ass in from squirrling out.

But I repeat, on a street car it does nothing!!!!!

Word I can understand that..  I was more refering to luckee\'s post..

But that makes sense...
