Many of the comments in this thread from the "boy racers" are unbelievable..

 

:agreed: It's quite a novel concept really and I can see how it would greatly boost the performance of a FWD vehicle on the track. Unfortunately it still has the fundamental problem of having all the work being done by the front tires. Between braking, turning, accelerating and all that down force on the front I bet it eats tires for breakfast but it's impressive that it can run the same kind of lap times as a track prepared NSX. That's no small feat in an of itself.

 

Shouldn't this be merged with "what not to do to your car"?

 

I sense a great disturbance in the force...as if millions of ricers suddenly cried out and the installed these on their 150hp cars.

 

I love it, especially since no one thought of it(or thought of it but didn't have the brass to try it.) The extra downforce being applied directly to the front in the cheapest (race legal) way. His tires grip only so much due to the weight prior to the wing, though I can imagine tire life shorten somewhat.
