A functional wing on a car creates downforce. Downforce is "drag", so saying the wing reduces drag is just plain silly. If you think any of those big ass ugly alluminum wings will do anything to your supra besides slow it down you need a lesson in physics. First of all your Supra (even if it was running, which it is not) doesnt make enough HP to benifit from a wing. Even if you tripled your HP, you still wouldnt need that wing. If you like to drive your Sup' on the freeway at over 100MPH around high speed corners, you might see some small benifit to rear wheel traction, but you would be sacrificing speed to do it. Supras are already heavy enough, trying to add downforce to a mostly stock street driven Supra is like trying to add a leafblower to your intake for more air intake...its a good theory, but doesnt work in practice! The drawbacks far outweigh the benifits.

2NR, you know I like you...I consider you "my boy" but you and I have very different tastes and experiences. I get a good chuckle most of the time reading your posts. But, dude, you're getting pretty ricey yourself...and if I were you I would refrain from making too many jokes about other peoples "rice" until you look in your own bowl
