hmm does adding a spoiler help? or just adding weight to the car?

FireIce SG

why u want to make ur car look like supermarket trolley?

nyox SG

if you frequently drive about 200km/h then it helps add downforce lor. sometimes i wonder why those cars with puny engines still go add a big GT wing.

maybe they use it to dry their clothes.

MooKu SG

sg no need spoiler ler..... add to ur fc only....... waste $. Confused

n0x SG

yes... ur car can even fly... Laughing

n0x SG

if u engineer the shape of ur car good.. u dun even need spoilers to generate downforce... like the 599 GTB.... Wink

the Bear SG

if you want to go fast in a straight line, it's just added drag...

if you want to corner at 120, you will need the downforce..

but then, who the heck corners at 120 on the streets? Laughing

ditzy SG

It totally doesn't help if your car happens to be a honda city, regardless of which year model. Laughing

ShrodingersCat SG

ya help police car to notice u more

Icemoon SG

I have a question.

What's the diff between a spoiler and a wing?

ditzy SG

A spoiler goes on a car, a wing goes on an aeroplane. Laughing

hal SG

are all GT wings illegal here?

rojak12 SG

If one race in a circuit that has a lot of SLOW corners, you may want to INCREASE your downforce. Do you know the reason?

So your statement is not true in general.

Shocked Laughing

Fatum SG

I have a factory spoiler on mine .... it does nothing, except make your car look good and block part of your rear view ... Laughing

Don need lur, don8 the $$ to me so i can take my bike or drivers next year Laughing

the.owl SG

wtf is downforce? shouldnt it be upforce

sand king SG

Downforce means the downward pressure created by the aerodynamic characteristics of a car that allows it to travel faster through a corner by holding the car to the track or road surface.

freakass SG

If the car's aerodyamics allows for very large downforce and the speed is high enough, the car can actually travel upside down on the roof of let's say a tunnel? Reason is simple - The downforce generated is greater than the car's own weight... Gravity is defied... Hahahaha but in this context, it should be "upforce" instead... Twisted Evil
