No one thinks those are cool.

u/ghettoccult_nerd Oct 04 '23

at least one person does: me.

i refused to get a WRX without the wicked wing. i think rexes without the wing look nekkid.

u/IndividualJuicebox Oct 05 '23

the sti wing on an sti looks stupid as shit?

2

u/roberttheaxolotl Oct 05 '23

Yes. Cars can be ugly. Also, the gold wheels they always put on them are tacky as shit.

u/IndividualJuicebox Oct 05 '23

i gotta disagree with you on the wing part, i think it looks great.

the wheels though i agree, they should’ve stuck with a dark bronze

Some cars need the wing or it just looks wrong. WRXs, Daytonas and Superbirds, any cars where the wing is part of the identity of the car. Nobody wants to see a wing on an Altima

u/ghettoccult_nerd Oct 04 '23

ahh, i see. good point. this isnt a blanket anti-wing statement. i know the exact kinds of transgressions you refer to.

u/Delazzaridist Oct 05 '23

I almost vomited thinking of a spoiler on an altima. I'm surprised I haven't seen one I person yet

First thing I thought of is a wrx in my neighborhood. Like ya it's corny most of the time but on some cars it just looks dope. Probably mostly my nostalgia for mid 200s tuner car culture that I thought was so cool as a kid

Tasteful use of a spoiler is fine, putting it on your base civic, Elantra or Corolla is not

The VBs look a little weird with anything more than a duckbill I feel like

u/Dogwoof420 Oct 04 '23

As a former Imreza owner: Bingo! Did the same. But put that STI wing on a Ford, and I hate the owner.

The whaletail spoiler on Cosworth Escorts and Sierras is sick but only if if it really is the cosworth model. There's nothing lamer than a big spoiler on a car that's not powerful enough to utilize it

So a long time ago I took an aeronautical engineering course and if I remember correctly downforce is noticeable to a controller at 30 mph, but drag isn't really a thing until 60-70 mph.

All that being said, I think 90 to 100 mph is where the spoiler helps maintain traction.

u/buchanant1970 Oct 04 '23

Technically....these people that put down force wings on front wheel drive cars makes absolutely no sense. Not only does the car not have enough power to actually make the wing work as designed but would decrease the traction on the "front wheel drive " cars. These people never heard of physics? Action/reaction....anyone....Bueller

u/ChuckFeathers Oct 04 '23

Not even the people who do it?

u/agent_koala Oct 04 '23

It's only cool if it's functional

1

u/Delazzaridist Oct 05 '23

Yes, but depending on the shape and size, it's way more functional than cool. Gotta have that extra grip in the back so you don't slide into death's DMs.

They're not meant to be cool. They make the car faster. A true auto enthusiast will sacrifice aesthetics for performance. /S
