you are welcome.
Sure we do not need those wings around legal speed limits. But when you take these cars on track, they do make a difference.
Also you can be sure those wings are tunnel tested , so they do work with a car very balanced.
Problem starts when people put wings on they car with 0 research besides finding the cheapest ones.. lol
Then you have 0 down force to lift effects etc, Those wings are truly unnecessary, and you better of without them. these type of factory wings are generally working as they intended to do.
Nothing crazy though, just make a car run stable, and most possibly balanced as a factory car can be at they price range.

There is no need for a come back because your only arguing with yourself, I refuse to argue with stupid. Plus I really have no interest in anything you have to say.
To the rest of you, thanks for your input but like previously mentioned I'm just into drag racing so the rest is irrelevant to me which is why I questioned downforce on a fwd car.

until we get to the point where we need more, that is. Because we all know "fast" is never "fast enough" and we always want to go faster.
Well, hey. we both learned something from this thread. Sometimes the internet IS helpful.

Regulations happened. Still we have begged for a type R here in the states and now that they seem to be bringing one people are already complaining even though the specs are not final and it seems to be doing great at the nurburgring. Sounds like a good way to make sure we don't ever get another shot at one...

But I do agree the EK is the best CTR.

Yea its pretty aggressive, but im sure people said the same about the evo at some point. Yea im sure Honda would love to be able to produce a vehicle like the EK Type R and have it be legal, because it would sell like crazy! But new safety regulations pretty much have killed that..

I have no issues with it from a performance stand point, nor do I care that it is FWD - I'd expect that from Honda. My problem is with the styling. It is a mess of ideas and contrasting forms and it just looks like something a high school kid would come up with crossed with something from a Burnout or GTA game where they mixed a bunch of things together so it doesn't look like any particular brand with some 90's NOPI sprinkled in on top.
