Oh... so that was you with the black 8 with MS front at the Great Mall meet. I think you left early though. Those are nice pics! Wish I did the same with the Red RX-7 at my work today :D

You guys are too harsh on wings. Those wings are actually functional. Why would they bother putting them on GT cars anyway? Big *** stereo equipment are more ricey though. They prove no use to perfomance and make the car heavier than it is. I guess that's why they never pack GT cars with big *** stereos. Seriously, almost all new cars nowadays come with stereo equipment when you buy them ![Confused](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/confused.gif)
...FWD gave the wings a bad name IMO.

Hey Batman,
Were you in Los Altos last week? I recall being on San Antonio when a similar (or the same) jet black FD with a really high wing turned onto the street from Foothill... We were going in opposite directions so I didn't really get a closer look.

But then again some of those wings on the back of the ricers look like they are trying to lighten the rear of the car by picking it up at high speeds.
Before the 8 I had always drove front wheel drive something my Dad insisted was best. I notice a huge difference in cornering with RWD nice unless the road is wet or icy. Thank God for the DCS at least for those that have fun in rain and snow.
The black paint looks beautiful. What do you use for paint protectant?
One of the reasons I didn't get black is because swirls and dust show more prevalently. I have a Sunlight Silver 8 and sometimes wash it 2-3 times a week (bugs...).
If it is used as a street car it does scream pull me over though. Poor police officer, um sir should I call for backup? You're bleeding on my car, ick.

FWD didn't give wings a bad name. Wings are also useful on FWD cars. HUGE wings like that gave wings a bad name when people put them on POS cars that couldn't backup the looks. Even though he may say that wing is useful, I still think its horrid and completly makes that 7 look nasty. It's too big. Im sure you can find a smaller wing to do the same job with the right tuning.
