^ dead on Beebo, There is too many fckin noobs that simply don't understand the difference between a performance oriented car and well.... A stock looking car...

And on top of that so many air heads don't understand that spoilers like this are fully functional, you only have to look at any gotdang race car in the world, DUHHH!

So I guess if I am supercharged I should throw a huge wing on my car as well? Take a look at much faster cars and observe the huge AR spoiler missing. Question why

Either way, to each their own.

^If you are supercharged and are serious about tracking your car you should run a rear wing, its very functional.

How often are those cars seriously tracked? Some cars are engineered in a way to create downforce w/o a rear wing. But the G needs it.

Why does it matter how often it's tracked? If they track it once a year, the wing has served it's purpose... The wing is functional for what they intend to do.

you want serious results on the track, you want proper downforce ? you have no other options except a wing this big if not bigger, it's what the world of racing runs so fck your opinion and if you think it belongs on a Fast n Furious Civic.... see a pattern in this pic ?

Need to take my post in context there, my friend. I was referring to the poster ******* the wing. I agree they are functional, whether its 1 or 100 trips on the track.

It's a nice car, but if he tracks it, I assume he must have another set of wheels? And how fast could a G35 possibly be around a track? Even boosted ones with wings...

Oh, and there's a bunch of evos and sti's who take off the wing when not on the track. Just because you track it once a year, doesn't mean your only option is to keep the wing on year round. I'd take it off the other 364 days of the year if it will make the car look better.

I think you should see a pattern there. I don't see a single G with a full interior, no roll cage, body work full of bondo in that picture....Also, you should learn to respect other people's opinions. You stated yours, I stated mine. Trying to convince me that you aesthetic taste regarding a car is more correct than mine is laughable. But please, go on.

I think Gio's car is great but the wing doesn't belong. Nothing wrong with that.

In terms of track cars...take a look at those cars in your picture. I doubt anybody on this site has a track car. Very few of us have the budget to run a "track car" or want to deal with the sacrifices involved. Just because you have slotted rotors, a huge wing and are 2 inches off the ground it doesn't mean you have a track car (I am not referring to Gio).
