Mike's car is a track car, so it's understandable that he has a huge wing. Most of the time, he'll be moving faster than 80mph. From what I can remember, Mike's car is not a public street car, he tows its to his tracking events.

see now your back tracking. you said they wont do anything under 140mph. and thats crap.

True they arent "needed" on the street. But then our cars themselves arent needed for the street either. we should all go buy a honda fit or something.

I see, now quoting speed limits, (roads here, non highway go up to 60, and some highways are 70). If you quote speed limits, you better be damn sure you never speed yourself.
