Implying that the rear spoiler ever did anything anyway?
Well sure it did. Haven't you ever noticed the curved undersides that many stock spoilers and wings have? They're shaped like upside down wings. My car has that plus a Gurney lip-like thing on top. Not nearly as effective as a race wing, but it's probably enough to negate any native lift on the rear end. And since my rear spoiler is low it also happens to be low drag, and thus the car has a really slippery Cd.
Because it looks good.
I think it would work with a big wing though.
It would be worse to combine it with a race wing. The whole point of raising the wing is to get it into clean air, so using a roof spoiler would just mean you have to raise the wing that much higher. Ideally you'd want some sort of vortex generators to keep the air along the body, and then you could use a low-mounted, low-drag wing to create the same downforce. Doesn't really look good, but it's more effective.
I'd rather just ditch the wing. At some point some company made cf trunk lids for these cars that looked pretty ok. I don't know if you can still get them though. I doubt it.
Meh. If I were planning to use the car at high speeds I would want it there for stability. The Civic could have used a big ass one!
You can barely see it, but Spoon put vortex generators on the CRZ's roof to help reduce drag and lift even further, despite the rear already having excellent drag and lift characterstics.
Sleek, long mirrors are lower drag than typical brick-like and stubby race mirrors. Still can't see **** though lol.
Spoon keeps rear seats folded to lower the CG. A friend has his tied with a bungee cord so they don't flop around.
Oh, and so you don't think Spoon has gone soft...
Mesh boot is lighter than regular leather or cloth. Who'da thunk it? Mugen, actually. I hate to think of how much R&D went into that boot; no wonder Mugen stuff is so expensive!
