^^^ They have enormous wings cause they need the downforce. Unless your really into road racing were you are going 120+mph there is no need for it.
If you getting one for looks go with the carvaerious or whatever its called.

So he can do that in a stock Corvette easily, so whats the big deal? Hell, most ANY car can go in access of 130 nowadyas. I understand that I was making a point that people here get their panties in a wad whenever someone does something different.

I guess we don't need 350hp because we will never exceed 80mph on a public road right?
