"The rear spoiler can reduce flow separation at the rear window, which
reduces drag. It also increases air flow under the body, which promotes
downforce at the rear of the car. "

Note: This is the force of the air on the entire top surface of the car, not
any downward force of the spoiler.

The following is from Dummies.com, for dummies like you. They make a clear
distinction between a spoiler and a wing. You seem to lack the knowledge of
that distinction, so read on:

Spoilers
The ubiquitous spoiler is the little flap or raised protrusion on the rear
decklids of coupes and sedans, or on the upper edge of the rear gate on
hatchbacks. Although the spoiler is often a cosmetic upgrade designed to
tell the world that your car is "sporty," it also has a very specific role
in aerodynamics.

As the name implies, this device spoils the airflow over the top half of the
car at the trailing edge of the car's upper surface. The spoiler can keep
airflow from tumbling and creating a swirling vortex behind the car. This is
important for a couple of reasons - without a spoiler, swirling air behind
the car can create both

Drag (which can keep the car from moving forward as quickly as possible).
Drag is expressed as a numeric coefficient of wind resistance.
Lift (which reduces the car's grip on the road at speed)


So we all see that cars for Dummies is an advanced text for you, providing
insight and knowledge that you didn't have before!

Bwaahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!

Is all you know just hype and myth?

Please, someday show otherwise!

The Bobfish fileted, roasted and skewered!

Amen!

The rear wing on the STI provided 38 lbs of downward force at 120 MPH.
That's quite significant to the ballance of the car. Now go google that
and learn about the STI's stability at 140 MPH vs. other cars.

Bob, this has gotten very boring because all you;re doing is googling
up a storm and have no info of your own. I could have trolled against
the B9 or STI sooooo much better with much less effort.
Not only do you suck in a debate...you suck at trolling. Here, let me
prove it to you.

Hey Boobie, do you also have one of those way cool trash can mufflers
that make the little kiddie car sound like a leaf blower?

35s5 ....... always at the end of the pack.

Man I wish they'd ban them. They sound like crap and it's mostly
on stock little jap cars with no power and poser kids trying to
be cool. Sorta like Bob, eh?

Exactly! That's why I asked.

I guess he does since he hasn't posted to the contrary. Too funny.

Wing or spoiler? Which is it?

Less weight than 5 gallons of gas.

What is stability? Dynamic, static or transcendental?

Not so. It's not common knowledge how a spoiler really works. I'm simply
googling back up.

Like, your opinions are your own?

Like, what you say is not hype?

Like, bite me!

Lying takes very little effort. Truth and knowledge require effort.

What debate? Fact is fact. I'm not trolling, I'm showing you are wrong!
