Well the jury is out then!

We need 2 professional drivers
2 cars of the exact same HP and suspension set up, 1 with a the stock wing and one without.
last but not least we need Nurburing for at least 2-3 days
Then we will all know for sure, if you are right we can tell Mitsubishi they have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars making wings for the evo over the years!

If you're going to do a wing go with the stock wing IMO.

don't get factory wing... that's an expense that if you don't have to pay for you shouldn't... there are plenty of better ones that cost less.

Go wingless. It's the signature of the RS and a great way to avoid the scrutinizing eye of old smokie.

Thats BS dude, i drive my RS everyday during the summer, and i LOVE it. and becides its an EVO you couldn't possibily have that many problems selling it.

True...and you can always get a used oem wing later on to use on the track............
