Unless you'll be going 140-150mph, nope.

no matter how fast your going, it will make a diff. im not debating how much of a diff, but it will make some diff. just stick your hand out the window while your driving, and see what i mean.

I should have mentioned it won't help his ET any unless he gets in the 11's.

yeah i knew what you meant, it would really only hurt him. it would prob cause unwanted resistance, and add tacky rice looks.

Why do you need a wing like that anyhow? Looks all riced out in my opinion.

Why do you need a fake hood scoop and side scoops?
Why do I need a 4" Cowl?

Well in that case I think it looks fadish, which is simply someones opinion of another. Not to be rude, but I dont think a wing like that belongs on a Stang unless its runnng the Lemans or something. LOL

Yeah, I know.
I just felt like stickin up for him
Personally I think it looks horrible, and would never want a dual wing on any of my cars.
