^this. Exactly. What FWDs need is air scoops at the front for downforce. Rear wheel downforce isn't going to help at all. It will actually decrease performance, but I guess they think it's cool.
"ERMAGAWD I NEEDZ TEH DOWNFORCES!"
Someone quoted me!
But exactly, that's what front lips are for, and the corner pieces on some body kits.
I don't understand even the fast FWD cars have a rear spoiler. Why do they want "down force" on their rear wheels if all their power is to the front? Boggles my mind.
How that originated was from the British Touring Car Cup. 2.0L max FWD cars. They put the wings on the rear for lift, actually flipped them around to create it. On all but a select few cars (supercars designed in wind tunnles), the wing in the rear does nothing until at least 60 mph and it has to be at the level of the roof line or higher to have any effect.
Anyways, yeah, I've played around with them little ricers all the time...I like staying next to them and being able to rev loud and let off making leaps forward while they are sitting their with the pedal to the floor going all out. Show them they got no chance. Next time ya'll do it...wink at the girl they are trying to impress. Just for kicks to **** them off even more.

Ah, that's very interesting! That is something I wasn't aware of!
