    You know what's the first thing I find wrong with them?? There is a flying car on the page where you linked. There is no form of road racing that is benefit from flying.

    Go to any auto maker page and see if they name the rear spoiler "wing..."

    How's Porsche for you? (BTW, I did not search hard for this, this was the first website I looked at)

    "At the rear of the car, the integrated WING is combined with an underbody diffuser featuring vertical fins. The resulting tail section generates ground-effects downforce with only minimal additional drag."

    Don't know what you would classify a whale tale, guess a spoiler since air only goes over the top

    I'm looking for this particular wing with the Gurney flap for my project car... $1,500 for the replica new
