we own msp's, not civics or eclipse's/talons. And our cars are FWD they don't benefit from wings.

FWD cars can benefit from wings and other downforce components. It's not a matter of drivetrain, it's a matter of application. I'm confused on the grouping of Civics and DSM's though. (uhm)

Street cars do not need the additional downforce, no. Their best form of downforce (and all they really need) comes from the hood and windshield.

Psssst. your car as a large non-functional wing on the back of it. ;)

How is that not a big wing?

You want to be cool? go wingless.

pick up the lastest sport compact car magazine and read the project miata article. They added a huge carbon fiber wing and trunk to the car to give it more high speed stability. The result? They gained like 2.7 mph in the slalom and said the entire car felt more planted and sure footed at high speeds. Its not rice if its there to serve a purpose. I'm strongly considering puting an aftermarket lightweight wing on my car after reading the article. I've felt that the MSP is much too twitchy above 100mph.

You do know that if the miata were FWD it would still have the same areodynamic properties right?

I believe that people are under the premis that it would make a diference on a tiny roadster.
