That said the original Audi TT had lift problems below 100mph and they added a wing.
yeah the car was unstable durring testing on the autobahn when Chrysler/Mercedes was building the car, they had to add the wing for speeds above 100mph which is why the alarm sounds when you hit 90mph and the wing hasn't deployed yet.
I just want it to deploy later so the car doesn't get anymore attention from the cops, and it's popping out durring decelleration in 3rd gear.
we'll see how well my little relay gizmo works out..
