Give the wing a purpose. Yummmm
(if not purposeful, I like the sports wing the best)

Sports package spoiler. Car looks unfinished without it in my opinion. That said, I would take the Z with no spoiler over the Nismo version or some of those large aftermarket options.

I have never seen a time attack car with a "sleek" wing, they look ridiculous but keep the a$$ end stuck to the pavement, so its a trade off. You wanna talk about ridiculous, look at Rado's time attack scion... Wings to da max!

i want my car to look like a race car and i don't believe there is a race car that doesn't have a wing. i am pretty sure all the formula 1 race cars have wings, all race cars at le mans have wings, etc.

true dat! but dammmmmmmm I guess if you have a street car / track car then a slimmer and sleeker spoiler will look perfect... sport plus mines or even nismo.

angels and fast cars have got to have wings

that looks classy, and its adjustable, which makes it better, you can tune it to perfection.

Classy?

The best combination of looks and performance, in my opinion, is usually Ferrari and Corvette... and look at how often they use spoilers. They "spoil" the look of the car.

I mean, if it's strictly a track car, then looks aren't important. But the car is gorgeous with no spoiler.

I aggree.

The Fcar is a super car. Big difference! At 200 mph on the Autobahn it has a purpose, on a car that drives 30 MPH it's irrelevant. I see way too many honda's, etc. with wings the size of 747's jets. Ridiculous IMO. Kind of like a beautiful woman with way tooooo much makeup, or smothering ketchup on a gourmet dinner. Very trailer trash. Why mess with something that's already perfect.


I still like my Z without the rear spoiler. Very clean and tasty appearance. Not overstated.

The stock Z spoiler is nice, not my cup of tea, but not over done.

Agreed, Rich.


And I never really liked the look of the F40.
