Re: Spoilers/ "Wings" Pointless on FWD Cars?

I think there are clearly 3 different mentalities here. One hates wings cause all they know is drag racing. Another likes wings cause they like sports car racing. The last likes wings cause they dont care about going fast but they think it looks good. I cant bring myself to respect that last view point all that much because i believe that a car is meant to be driven and almost all the energy that is put into the car should be focused towards that end. Now i cant say that i havent seen a few show cars that i liked, but for me to think a car looks good it has to look fast, e.x. Widebodys with wide wheels (no chrome), usefull aerodynamics, big diameter exhaust not just a big tip, turbos pushing high boost instead of turbos pushing 5psi just to say you have a turbo. Of course not eveyone (including myself) can afford all of this but why half ass things on a small budget just so your car will look cheesy?
