give me $200 and ill go to the dyno tomorow

I hit 135 in my 1994 taurus. I win.
Is it a SHO?

So all this aero talk had me thinking and I noticed on my dads G35 there is a rear diffusor not much larger than a foot or foot and a half by a foot and a half under the rear bumper. Does something that small actually do anything? I'll post up a picture for you guys to see. Maybe it just makes it a little more stable a higher speeds, maybe they just put it there so you think that? Haha idk

At certain speeds, a 1" duck tail spoiler makes a MASSIVE difference

Maybe it does serve a purpose. I'll throw up a pic tomorrow just for a visual, even though I'm sure you get the idea.

At 'top speeds', any little change in the aero can have a HUGE positive or negative effect to your speed/handling.
