Question Re: Disconnecting the Rear Wing & Alarm

OK this is getting silly. I got the car for me not what others think about it. I hate the 'rice burner' wing. Its nothing like the Porsche or Merc wings. Its and aero afterthought. If you got the car to have people look at you, go get help.

The car I saw at the Chicago Auto show had no wing and is one of the best looking cars I've seen the U.S. ever design. Its not fast, it goes round corners faster than I have the testosterone to take to the limit and its just a great drive.

Mechanically and aerodynamically at speeds under 80-90 mph the wing has little effect. At these speeds mechanical grip determined by chassis geometry and tyres are more important. Some of the 'squirlyness' folks talk about are more than likely a combination of tyre and road surface.
