See link, I'll find a video later to properly embed it, gotta say something about the Lexus' safety features if he walked away with just a scratch

I guess wings do provide flight.

Hahaha was not expecting that

DemolitionJim · 03-20-2015, 03:28 PM

holyyyyyyy shit

Law · 03-20-2015, 03:56 PM

Yup. This is what happens when you add a GT wing on the rear without balancing the front with a splitter.

Rear spoilers & front splitters go hand in hand for a proper aerodynamically-balanced setup.

ouch

M3414 · 03-20-2015, 04:25 PM

Is it just me or it looked like when the car was on its rear end sliding left it looks like it was basically gliding?

sello · 03-20-2015, 04:30 PM

Holy SH*T

FormulaMMM · 03-20-2015, 04:37 PM

That is nuts

1MOREMOD · 03-20-2015, 05:01 PM

Once the front end of the car comes up some the rear wing is catching air from below not above helping keep the bumper off the ground just perfectly.

this is true, and note, the front splitter appears to be cosmetic, doesn't look like it does shit for the car. It probably needs more length entension and car probably should have front canards.

I'll just place this here and let you guys discuss...

For my drag racing guys, this is just a case where this retard needed to spend money on a wheelie bar instead of a wing...
