I had that discussion today. Why would I try so hard to fix up my car for the track yet use it to deliver catalogues to customers Mon-Fri.

The guys that really race trailer their track car to the track.

Really race=go to a track, join an association, pay entry fee, wear a helmet, race against others on a real track.

Are there any special screws that need like a key? or what do it do?
tape a Stun gun to the wing, and use a Merc switch, So if it moves. the stug gun starts Stunning, and thats how you get a wingNut From stealing your wing

hahaha. 2 people at my old high school got the top half of their wings stolen....and this is not a big area for stealing stuff... at all.

has anyone ever thought about the fact that there are some very very very fast cars that are street driven, that are also raced on the circuit and could benefit from a big wing? have you guys ever looked at like any japanese tuning company's cars? sooooooo many of them are driven on the street, and still benefit from a wing.... like... the 800+ hp signal auto R34 GT-R.... want me to name some more?

who said he drives it to work every day?

maybe this guy wants to just 'sort of' race? maybe he doesn't want to spend the money on a big truck and trailer to tow his car, when he could put that money into the car and just drive it there?

why couldn't you "go to a track, join an association, pay entry fee, wear a helmet, race against others on a real track", and still drive the car to the track, and maybe for fun on the weekends? if I remeber correctly, mazda did that with the rx-5 cosmo way back in the day for like a long 12 hour race, to show the car's true potential.

man I love this forum.

oh yeah, and every single test I've read of the mitsu evo RS(w/ out the wing) they said the rear of car was more unstable than the car with the wing. now this is a completely stock car, and OH MY GOSH, it actually BENEFITS FROM A WING while not being a 'race only car'.

function over form, right? isn't that what everyone here is about?

or are you guys now for stock-only look, even if it will actually REDUCE the performance level of the car?



yeah, I kinda thought you were just being an ***. but, so am I

There is no reason for flaming, if you don't like what he's doing than keep it to yourself and avoid posting. I've cleaned this thread up, please don't make me again otherwise I'll just close it. I think he has his answers anyways and it's mostly just people talking about why he shouldn't do what he wants

Also, keep the homosexual slurs and sexual references OUT OF ALL THREADS. Thank you.
