A rear wing can be useful on a FWD car. They do more than let you put power down. Rear cornering traction is a good thing for everyone. Without a functional rear wing my inside rear tire is almost a foot off the ground in some situations. That's...not optimal.

I would not assume just by looks that the person doesn't know what they are doing..lol



For example I have a very similar wing on my V6 Supercharged Tib and I track it regularly...you role up on me on a road course and you will get owned..



I actually think that's one of the more tastefully done RDs I've seen and you never know they could be rocking some sort of twin turbo set up that could rock your world!
