Where do you come up with these questions? This and then there was the Vette with the TI exhaust.
You have too much time on your hands trying to rice out Vettes.

There actually are a few good reasons to have those big wings.

This is about the best use I've seen yet......

Actually,if it's your car,and if you want to ruin the looks of it with one of those godawful,ugly looking things stuck on the back of it,it's up to you.


Other than that,I don't really have an opinion either way.....

i think the wing is a good idea if you have all the other stuff to back it up.
750hp. suspension kit, etc.
