Re: Funny Article
Funny Article
Funny, I think not. I suppose you might find this funny too. Maybe this one too. I'm sorry, I just don't understand what's so funny about people ricing out their slow ass front wheel drive cars. Their parents cars for a good part too. Also, how does a 2 foot tall spoiler help a ff car considering that it's the front wheels that drive it and chances are there Civic/Cavalier won't see much past 200 km/h (120 mp/h) assuming that they're geared to even get that high. |

What a riced-out article... They try to make you believe that wing will make you faster... NO PERFORMANCE MODZ whatsoever... decals, paint jobs, spoilers, body kits, neons!

Oh sorry, I didn't realise that you expected me to come up with one. Upon sloser inspection I may have noticed knock off Volk Challenge rims. Whether they're real or not I don't give a fook. But wasting $30,000 on that pos he better have at least bought something that's quality. |

By the way, a wing works at lower speeds the larger it is. Check out an A-Mod autocrosser.. they never see past like 70mph and they have HUUUUUGE wings. It also doesn't matter that the cars are FWD.... check out a touring car race, mostly FWD cars with big-ass wings. Suspension tuning can make a FWD car oversteer with ease. I get my GTI sideways on an almost daily basis, and that's with stock suspension. |

Here's what I mean...
That's an A/Mod autocross car. Top speed maybe 80mph. Three front wheel drive BTCC race cars with wings. That's not to say that ricers know a damn thing about aerodynamics (they don't) but wings just plain aren't limited to high speed, RWD cars. |

Alright, you guys have made your point. I was tired and still am but I'm pretty sure you guys understood what I meant. Yes I do understand the point of a spoiler on a ff car in a race, I was just refering (probably spelt wrong) to all these sick ass ricers who put on these big ass wings just because they think it looks cool.

For those that feel the need/urge to let those idiots they call editors/writers/journalists know that this article should have been called "I Love Rice" instead of "I Love My Car"...
