Blessing In Disguise?

As much as we complain about all of these wanna be Fast and Furious sequel stars on the road, aren't you glad they only have 80 or so horsepower in which to wreak havoc with. Can you image if their cars were actually as fast as they think they are? We should count our blessings.

....oh yea...get this. I saw a Saturn...yes a Saturn with a wing that looked like it came off a top fuel dragster today. You can never have too much down force you know.

I'm starting to see these billet aluminum wings on Mustangs as well. Talk about tacky

2 amazingly awful spoilers seen in the past week. one at the mall sitting on the back of a 4 DOOR ACCORD. oh yea, it had the "must have" R badges on it as well. and another huge spoiler on the back of a neon with clear tailights. these 2 spoilers were the same kind. i'm talking 3 feet off the back of these cars. if you need a visual, their were nearly identical to the spoiler on the orange Supra in the Fast and the Furious. no joke, right out of the movie.

do they know that these these not only look awful, but don't help, not even a little bit? and tell me if i'm wrong, but since spoilers are supposed to create downforce at high speeds, and these cars are FWD, wouldn't that pull some downforce OFF of the front wheels at high speeds where they need it most? (assuming these cars can REACH high speeds) isn't that unsafe? i just might laugh myself to death if i saw an accord racing down the highway and the spoiler on the back makes the car raise up a bit and the car flips over backwards because the spoiler was too big lol. *ahem* sorry.
