YACT: Rant - Don't put a giant spoiler on your FWD cars

[DingDingDao]

Dear Civic/Accord/Corolla/Camry Ricebox Owners (Read: Modified--this is in no way intended for owners of stock versions of the aforementioned cars):

Do NOT put a stupid shopping cart handle/giant super-duper spoiler on your car.
A) It looks fvcking stupid.
B) It's actually hurting your performance, your numbnut. By putting the spoiler on the car, not only do you increase drag, you also are increasing downforce (if you ever actually get going fast enough) on the back half of your car, reducing your traction on the wheels that need it--the FRONT WHEELS of your FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR.
C) Take the Type R, S-iR, GT-R, GT-whatever bullsh!t stickers off your car. It's not getting you any more horsepower, and no one believes you anyways.
D) I don't need you to tell me that your car is Powered by Honda. I already fvcking know, Captain Obvious.

hahaha NO :|

I was driving home today and some idiot in an Accord Coupe with blue headlights, coffee can exhaust, and the biggest wing I've ever seen (like the one on the Escudo in Gran Turismo) tried to egg me into a race. The freeway was clear, so I gave him a three-count and took his ass. Shortest race EVER. I didn't even have time to catch up to the nearest car in front of me before I decided I'd made my point clear enough. He caught up to me eventually, but traffic was approaching, so I let him race off.

Thanks!

Like I said, there wasn't any traffic on the freeway at all--the nearest car in front was at least a quarter mile ahead, and I slowed to the pace of traffic before I got anywhere near other cars.

LIAR!!!!!! You get an instant 10HP improve with each Type R sticker on the back.

 

[huesmann]

That wasn't a race.

You're right, it wasn't a race. Maybe I should've stayed in 5th gear--that might've made it closer.

 

[huesmann]

Oh, and you forgot to mention besides the downforce on the rear, those huge wings weight a ton, something else you don't want on the rear.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Although the carbon-fiber ones should be pretty light.

...are they actually real carbon-fiber though? I wonder...

 

[PHiuR]

what kind of car do you drive ding.

12 if they're yellow.

Audi A4. Not the fastest thing out there, and I don't initiate races with people, but if someone in a Honda Accord S-Type-R-Super-Duper-GT wants to go, I'll toy around with him.

Thank you. Just, thank you.

Addendums:

E) Please do not leave your hood off. There is nothing impressive in there.
F) If you DO put a hood on, and it happens to be carbon fiber (like it f*cking matters), either get a finish job that makes everything look the same, or go back to the stock hood.
G) Your rims look disgusting.
H) No hub caps is better than rims, but not by much.
I) Turn your music DOWN. I do not care that you bought some $30 subwoofers at Wal-Mart and can now be loud and annoying.

:laugh: I saw a Civic painted lime green (similar to the Murcielago green) the other day. That's gotta be worth at least 15 hp, right?

Hahah just needed to get that off my chest. Living here in Los Angeles, it just gets to you after a while. Either I post a rant on here or I start a sequel to Falling Down

Yeah, GIAC tuned. It is good fun. I try to keep the aggressive driving to the track and auto-x, but sometimes I just can't pass up some fun.

 

[Argo]

I want to rice out my Mercedes. Where can I get a giant spoiler and Type-R sticker?
