Wow! I bet that winged added at least 20whp.

Good thing you didn't try and challenge him :rolleyes:

It was being driven by what appeared to be a 40-50 year old woman. I think I was weirding her out snapping pictures of her car as we drove down the road :lol:

^That's awesome

I didn't get any pics, but I spotted a mid 90's Saturn sedan yesterday that had the legs of it's park bench wing but not actual wing....just the tall ass leg supports for the wing still screwed onto the trunk. Fail.

You must find this car and get a picture. I'm still searching for the dude with the plywood wing on the back of a 80's Honda Accord. I used to see him all the time...must of blasted into outer space with that thing.

I have a photo buried in my Photobucket account of this riced to hell Neon and the owner lives in a neighborhood a few blocks over when I lived in Phoenix.

The thing had 4 different colors of primer on it, tons of "Super Street" decals, PepBoys chrome hubcaps, a massive ebay rear wing, and the dude even put rivets through the rear windows to make it look like Lexan race windows. It was also god awful loud and have the nastiest interior ever.

I will try and find the picture.

It's hard to see in the picture but they're awesome.

Worse was the guy who owned it was a major d-bag and tried racing everyone he saw, even in suburban neighborhood streets, and would constantly attempt shitty burnouts and whenever he came to a turn he would enter it hot and grab the ebrake, a failed attempt at drifting I suppose. He was annoying as shit.

I constantly was thinking "I should vandalize the shit out of his car someday" but then I realized it wouldn't make a difference.

If it is white I am pretty sure I saw it today on I-70, or something very very similar. I want to say the one I saw was a 1990-1993 Accord, white with a HUGE wing which just looked completely ridiculous. Plus he was a left lane camper :mad:

there is a chance his wing was slowing him down...too much down force. ;)

I remember a car in Juntion that they took to the track. It had that bumper vent setup and a loud exhaust. They took all the interior out of it and put a roll cage in it. It did a 17+ 1/4 mile, lol.

I think it is to help with aerodynamics, keep air from being traped behind the bumper. Probably works on a real race car but not that, lol.
