I'll be honest and say that I didn't read all 9 pages of this insanity, so if I missed this part already I apologize.

But, please tell me that you aren't actually trying to justify putting a wing like that on a Corvette because it gives you downforce on the highway.

If you like the way it looks and want it on there for that reason, then go for it. We all have different tastes (obviously). However, trying to justify it with statements like that is something that even most fart rocket Civic owners would make fun of.

How exactly is that out of context? You said you could use the downforce on the highway, correct? Since I apparently read that wrong, please enlighten me as to what you actually meant if it wasn't a horrible attempt at justification for that thing on your deck lid. I'm all ears.

Now I actually took the time to read through 10 pages of this stupidity with the same final result. LOOKS LIKE **** and gives zero performance gain.

That better?

Here is what I said since you have a very limited capacity to recall ....or just a very biased opinion ...or probably both..

"....and welcome a little extra downforce at the rear.."

NOTICE how I said a "little extra.."
That implies that I understand this isnt going to give me hundreds of pound of downforce.... especially since I am usually driving below 100mph and most aero devices wont yield any performance gains under that speed..
I also was planning on doing tuft testing..so the jurys out on the true impact of the MOD..

SO.. I DO have a clue..
AND thanks for the FREE advice..

It will however create "some force" that acts on the rear and the MOD is one of many planned to achieve and overall aerodynamic concept..
"CONCEPT"

Get it!
I plan on showing the car too!

And you can relax..
maybe take your prescribed medication the doctor ordered..
Im going to a much lower profile wing..

BTW...YOU are surely a poor judge of good taste..
Ive seen many C4s...

But yours with that giant white stripe down the middle..
Humm...
Lets just use your words since they seem so relevant

THE WHOLE FORUM NOW KNOWS WHAT SH*T REALLY lOOKS LIKE..
