Well you don't see this for sale quite often....

It's still ricer IMO and not necessary.

There's a reason why those 'ricers' use a crazy big wing.. for crazy downforce at xx mph. Same principle for the Mustang, but at much faster speeds.

When people who think they know about race cars truly believe an oversized spoiler is the key to down force

I didn't say the car was rice. I said the wing is rice, and it is IMO.

It may serve a function, but when it is sitting still it looks stupid. I'm certain you can achieve down force without the park bench. Many other brands do, and I've built some myself. But what do I know?

Well, you're certainly no engineer, I can tell ya that. Please though, all seeing eye, tell us how you could produce the same amount of downforce in the rear of a mustang without significantly altering the body/chassis.

Just FYI, the Ford GT was developed from the ground up to be a LM-GTE car and have a body that'll produce enough downforce to be competitive in the class. It still has a big "ricer" wing

Bet it's easy to vacuum out..............

The problem is ricers put them on otherwise stock FWD Honda Civics lol.

This is the bad boy I'm going up against this Saturday on a 9 turn 1.3 mile road course.. sans the big wing.. I ain't worried LOL.

Ok, so you guys really, REALLY love the wing. Got it.

It's still ricer IMO and not necessary.

But I won't get between your little group here. Do continue.

But that's where you are WRONG! it IS absolutely necessary...

Funny how you guys get so cheezed up over a spoiler.

Ain't that the truth.

People in here ready to lynch someone because they have a different opinion about it.

I think the only opinion here is yours. It's a fact that the spoiler is used for downforce and is fully functional

Also, lay off the emojis. What're you? a 15 yo girl?

 

[The_Phantom]

Everyone has an opinion.

And complaining about an emoji? This from a guy with an avatar of himself like it's the 90's and he's trolling forums to try and get a date? Don't throw stones.

Seems to be working out ok.

I get it. Big airfoils on street cars are stupid. This isn't a street car. Do you really think that you know better than the people at Ford Performance how to make efficient downforce for a race car?

Your best option here would have been, "Gee, my bad. I didn't realize that was a real race car built by professionals." But for some reason you decided to dig in.

AFAIK the dealer here in Champaign still has #25 and is asking $149k. 2 hour drive to save $100k. Also being Chicago-born, I feel inclined to say Bob ROOOOOOHR-man

 

[Osofast]

I will say the car looks awesome in person, wing or no wing. When I walked in to go to the service counter It caught my attention right away, as I didn’t expect it to be there the first time I saw it.
However this picture doesn’t do it justice

The problem I suspect is video games....half jokingly.
How many posts over the years have guys with PP1, PP2, GTxxx, stated they have “race cars”. And I suspect many of them believe it...,and so when they see a REAL race car their mind goes “tilt”....and locks up unable to process what they are looking at.

If anyone in NE Wisconsin wants to see it in person, Throttlestop in Elkhart Lake has 2 of them (or did as of a cpl weeks ago)
