    The point is if something didn't work 40 years ago, then it doesn't work today either. I bet SuperGT cars make better downforce from what appear to stockish front ends.

    To add, Group C prototypes used to develop 7000+ lbs of downforce from their wedge like front ends. (and underbodies)

    Kinda hard to manipulate the front end of a Scion. I think it looks nifty and have no problem with something helps out...even just a teeny bit.

    But I agree, many other ways to get more downforce.

    You should see those at the next big auto show. I think I saw a test mule the other day.


    It's not every day you see those two mating in their natural habitat! ...or is this GM fucking Chrysler?

    Seriously, a splitter alone will add more downforce than what is needed for that car and suspension. Shaved 5 seconds off the lap time? How does the 2nd place car compare to it's times and what is it?
