b|1kage, Obviously you dont drive fast enough to notice downforce. My '85 spoiler is actually functional, it actually produces downforce, granted you have to be traveling 130+ to notice it but it does work. I put on a 87-93 GT wing and I swear to god those things actually produce lift at the same speeds. And most wings on cars arent there to produce downforce, theyre there to reduce lift. And aerodynamics come into play long before that. Have you ever driven a big SUV on a very windy day? Has it ever shoved you over a lane on the highway? Next time theres a lot of wind where you live, go drive a big truck and then go drive your stang. Then we'll see what you think. But then again you dont need your aerodynamics, do you?
