I'm sure that produces tremendous downforce.

I have the quad wing that creates over 1000 pounds more of downforce off idle since it is made out of lead.

This has got to be the crime of the century. This is where you can no longer say "to each his own". This is a travesty.

^Yeah right. They fixed it so it wouldn't do anything well.

110% useless for anything and cost a fortune.

It looks like a 4x4 chassy but you cant go mudding in those wheels.
The suspension makes it useless for racing.
Too ugly to be a show car
You cant see anything around you from the drivers seat.
The side pipes will severely burn anyone trying to get in or out.
You probably cant even get groceries in it.

A head turner. People snapping pix saying "what a dumb ***".
