That "rice wing" provides the downforce. Without it, when your pushing that thing at high speeds it bec omes extremely unstable, espcially since the GTR is extremely light weight.[/quote:a6bac]

Oh, so thats why Nascar run their cars around at 200 mph with out huge wings....

There are more effecient ways to create downforce that don't look so downright gawdy....[/quote:a6bac]

THEY DO have spoilers on theri cars in nascar, those cars are also millions of dollers a pop so they can invest in other ways. The cheapest way to get good downforce going is a rally type spoiler, you can fall in line and follow the internet trend of omg RICE and say its ugly, but that things is hella of alot better then the others. period. Also note nascar = going around in circles.[/quote:a6bac]

Agree with you about nascar, I hate it, just giving an example.

Most of the old muscle cars, not all, but most, used a spoiler like this...

Albiet more subdued. Your telling me that it is cheaper to build an entire wing than just a lip spoiler? Anyways, I guess its just a matter of opinion as to how it looks....

Also, I get really tired of calling rice "Rally equiped" and bullshit like that. Go watch a WRC Rally race, where do they race? Almost exclusively on gravel. I'd like to see some one with their precious "Rally inspired" ground effects and under glow neons go down a gravel road like a real rally race. Thier bulbs would be broken and the plastic bumpers would fall apart.....
