My cousin had the big spoiler on his Cobalt SS. My grandpa called it the "Breakfast bar."

Exactly. And with the DCCD it can be 90% RWD. Post epic fail op.

I find it odd that approximately 0 people complain about RWD cars with a front spliter, yet everyone seems to make quips about FWD's with a wing. I used to too, until I understood the physics involved. Now I reserve such comments to sub-200 hp cars that will never see a road course, which still covers the bulk of fwd cars with a wing.

Nevah!
(looks in driveway at 175 hp Grand Am with factory spoiler (which looks 10x better than any Grandamage without a spoiler, and helped influence purchase decision over non-spoiler car)

Does it really matter which car is actually in the post? I see them all the time, even on 90s cavaliers here. Its the principle, not the exact car.
