Thread 28525621

You guys prefer sports cars with or without a wing?

No one ever goes fast enough for a wing to make sense.
All it does is cause lower mpgs

Sometimes they look good if it goes well with the rest of the car. If anything it slows you down an imperceptible amount, but I'm okay with that if it looks right.

>>28525621 (OP)
Stylistically it doesnt work well with the ovoid car design here and i'm not a fan of these mercedes anyway so that's prob not helping. Just compare how fucking perfect the wing on this 190 evo is compared to the OP.
And like the other said, even most of these cars with movable wings dont even come into play for aero downforce until prob well above interstate speeds. porsche doesnt even lift their spoilers until after about 78mph so that's probably the very earliest beginning threshold of "even doing anything"

>>28525621 (OP)
if you have to ask, you are a ricer

>>28525621 (OP)
depends on the car
for amg gt, less is more
unfortunately people don't have taste, and mercedes catered to those who don't have taste and added more of everything even to the base amg gt

>>28525621 (OP)
WING GOEZ FAZTA

>>28525652
those homologation cars are pretty much the only cars with a proper wing that look alright

>>28525621 (OP)
Most of these designs look stupid without a wing.

>>28525989
Sure, if you're 16.

>>28525621 (OP)
UM ACTUALLY THAT'S A PEDESTAL SPOILER FUCKING PLEB NOOB

it barely works only for anime meme cars like >>28525652, and only if kept spotless
modern heavy as shit """sports""" winged cars like C8 are a disgrace

The base GT looks kind of goofy until you see how giga low and wide it is. I love it.

>>28526196
a bit too much "clownshoe" influence in the design for my tastes.
it's not the worst Nu-Car(TM) though so there's that.

Probably depends on the exact car: S550 mustang looks great without a wing, the S600 (newest) looks kinda bad without a wing. Some cars look okay with a wing even though its just for looks, like the Mach E Rallye. Thats just there for fun, go for it.

Most cars simply do not need wings and are there just for display purposes only. I think most cars would look better without a wing. That being said, a high performance car that actually can make use of a well engineered wing sure. Function over form.
I also don't think theres anything wrong with adding aftermarket wings if you just like the look of them either, fuck it, you want a big gay wing on the trunk of your honda civic you commute to your retail job in? Go for it bud.

>>28525652
That just looks stapled on and oversized.
>>28525621 (OP)
This is a cohesive part of the design that helps balance out the proportions.

>>This is a cohesive part of the design that helps balance out the proportions.
Nah it's objectively shitty looking.
The car is already visually weighted to the rear and adding a goofy wing makes it worse.

>>28525621 (OP)
I'd prefer a more subdued spoiler over a wing on something like an AMG GT.
It really comes down to the car though; I couldn't imagine a lot of those late 90's/early 00's japshit sports cars like the RX-7, Supra or sedan Impreza without their wings.

>>28525621 (OP)
Depends on the car, depends on the spoiler.
that car could look good either way

>>28525632
what if i track my car?

>>28525621 (OP)
it depends

>>28525621 (OP)
Without.

>>28525621 (OP)
On a roadcar it's cringe as hell. Factory rice is still rice at the end of the day. Integrated spoilers and retractable aero are less offensive, but still very ricey.

>>28527416
>posts car that automatically deploys its wing
???

>>28527416
Much cleaner with the deployable wing

>>28530014
It's functional

>>28530018
Most of them came with the aero pack with the fixed rear wing.

this board is literally sour grapes incarnate lmfao

>>28525621 (OP)


Wangs look good but are not functionally good in most cases. Low drag is both high speed and high milage, what everyone wants most of the time.
Homologation specials have an excuse, even if noone who owns them is going to use them for taking a winding road at full throttle anyways.

>Never any motorsports threads
>Never any technical discussion

Certifiably shit, on the whole, yet I still come here.

>>28530170
+5lbs of downforce @ 60mph is technically functional, I guess. Doesn't mean that it's not rice.

>>28530217
>Doesn't mean that it's not rice.
Rice is bullshit that has no thought put into its function

>>28530217
that's exactly what it means actually

>>28527033
Honestly I think a ducktail is best. Not the best example but I think you can see the vision.

>>28531349
I think those are considered to be "spoilers" but ducktail is a reasonable term as well. Wish those would make a comeback along with liftbacks and good hatchbacks

>>28530014
The fear of rice is total npc behaviour

>>28525632
>All it does is cause lower mpgs
On what metric?
Drag?
Acceleration is the only thing drag effects and overall resistance.
If your car is making more than 15hp per lbs, it's not a factor of reduced MPG.
If the car is kept planted the TRAC/ESC won't work hard, and that is what really kills MPG and brakes. A front biased car will have more brake wear in the rear.
>I turn those off.
Then your car is no longer on the road. At that point the car is already going faster than what the road can handle.

>>28525652
Everyone made fun of the 190E wing on debut.
That being said, if it looks dumb, but it works, it's not dumb.

>>28531573
>The fear of rice
Lol nobody is afraid of rice people are disgusted by it you faggot ricer, wrenchlet
>>28531349

Disgusting faggot ricer freak pussy wrenchlet

>With wing or without

Lmao you poor fags have to choose?! Look, word of advice for your next car purchase kid... If it doesn't have active aero you can deploy and stow, you can't consider yourself a car enthusiast perhaps even a man.

>>28530265
>>28530269
The thing is that the "function," regardless of however marginal it may be, is pointless in a roadcar. It is therefore considered rice because it doesn't do anything that is actually useful.

>>28531638
You are afraid of not fitting in :((
The current NPC zeitgeist says "rice" bad. So you will aggressively assert that rice bad.

>>28531850
Cars have many design elements that aren't useful.

>>28527033
>Using a supra as an example of a good looking car
lmao

>>28531900
>Cars have many design elements that aren't useful.
And I'd argue that most of what you would list are infinitely more useful in a roadcar than a ricey wings.

>>28531638
Post tools bro. The REAL tools that is.
