Here is a flow analysis for the vortex generator... i didnt read all the way through it but it might have something about the wing...

I think Krieonic was talking about full out drag cars with HUGE spoilers on the rear, just mounted low. They sit low and far back to get clean air to function. It's not quite the same as a lip spoiler and you don't really want to go all out like that I'm sure.

If you aren't going to stick with a high wing I would go for some sort of functional rear diffuser. The only other thing I can think of would be a wing right off the back glass like the old WRC car but let's that thing was hideous.

Yes, the stock front under tray is functional. It does help reduce lift on the nose at speed and also helps to cool the transmission and TC.
Pizzaman, I mean FULL under car aero ... but mainly between the rear control arms and the rear bumper cover. There is lots of turbulence in that area which causes lift, and also some "parachute effect" which causes nothing but drag on the rear bumper. Give the air under the car a direct, turbulence free route from nose to tail and you'll likely notice improvements from 80mph up in both speed and handling. You just might lose minimal braking performance ... lol.

as touringbubble said, i'd get aftermarket or custom front and rear undertray.... with significantly less lift, loosing the rear wing is less issue with traction. also hope your tires are up to par
