I got this video from another site, but it was to hilarious to leave to them alone.

The majority of us should find this funny.



I think my favorite point is him talking about buying a wing, "It's for downforce, dumba$$."
"Right, downforce, on a front wheel drive car?!"

actually the wing still helps on a front wheel drive car. it puts downforce on the rear wheels which helps when cornering at high speeds. i still think they look stupid and theres no need on anything but a race car but whatever helps mow the lawn faster i guess lol

Actually, despite being front heavy, most fwd cars will still tend lose traction at the front wheels first and push through corners, so actually adding a rear wing hurts handling even more. That is provided you can get a little import tuner up to high enough speeds to take advantage of downforce. Not likely. Silly imports.

240's, carollas, Supras, Skylines (some) are RWD. The Honda's I can agree with though.
