We shall ignore the larger brakes, lighter wheels, stiffer springs, firmer shocks, and chin spoiler as those were all likely done for pure aesthetic reasons. Surely, the humongous rear wing falls into that category. *****, and the courage to take it to those handling thresholds, are apparently the only performance enhancing accessories on these cars.

No one doubts that the curator spoke those words in the museum on that fateful day, when Crossfire myths were rocked. I simply struggle to believe that a 4' wide wing, wrapped around the side of the hatch, with a ~30° pitch and genuine lift profile (flat top, curved underside) produces zero increase in force compared to a 18" wide, flat-sided ducktail at a near 40° pitch.

Perhaps I imagined the extra stability and lack of pucker-factor at those speeds after the larger wing and front fascia were installed. Silly me.

I digress.
