In dont care what you guys are saying.. Wings/Splitters have been around for almost as long as there was a GT circuit. They are more functional than the wings that are currently on these cars and you will see a dramatic competitive leap in the racing world. I think it's about time for this change. Perhaps you should see what MUSTANG and other american manufacturers are puttin on the track before you make your rebel yell. [sm=goodidea.gif]

only a face that NASCAR can love!

Funny thing is that it reminds me of the 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix!
ok, I know that is an 89...

If it helps the drivers mainatin better controll of thier cars, and drive safer at speed, Then I am for it. Looks take a back seat to performance, and safety every time.

im going to be learing how to build these cars. wings have more adjustability. all they can do right now with the rear downforce is the angle of the spoiler. with the wing, the can control the side drafts with the wing, the splitter up front will even out the aerodynamics. belive it or not, they will be faster. so i dont see why people are complaining about the LOOKS. they already look all the same, and they all look retarded imo. but eggs are aerodynamic. plus, i dont want them to change the cars much anyway, which they arent. the racing is phenominal, and this will only make it better. to me the worst part of any race, is when people start lapping the field, these cars wont do that.

My brother races NASCAR Bombers. He's really good. I think its really only on the bigger tracks where you can take the air off their spoiler and get em lose. But idk, nd what that guy said, more downforce. It's not like their going to be 4 ft wings like riced out accords have.. or is it?

yea who really cares about the way the cars looks, its goin to bring the cars closer together for racing and slowing the cars, im going to college to build cup engines and this is a good idea, it will only help the drivers and the lower budget teams
