A high spoiler WILL slow you down, even in a quarter mile track. My best buddy's '97 Turbo Mirage had WAY less mileage on the quarter mile with the Lancer Evo VI wing on. He took it off, and the mileage went up considerably. So yes, it'll slow you down even in a short distance.
EDIT: That is why I am leaving the stock wing on and as much as I want the TRD one, which I had one made for me by Chrisc and never payed for it, I won't bite the bullet. Plus the TRD is too much unwanted attenton. People think my car is a Supra...so imagine that TRD wing...they'll think it is damn fast, LOL.

i here what you guy's are saying.........
i just want something more to balance the look of my '4', i just think the three post spoiler looks understated with all the vents in the hood ! what about the 'supra style' spoiler, that can't have half as much down force (added drag) to it as the TRD one ??? or do i go 100% custom and get one made ???? anyone got any thoughts on that ???? -------------------- Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance Take care now !! |

C-One spoiler! As far as I know, they're rare and expensive, but if I had the money I'd get one

Muahaha yeah man...because of the fat ass, people confuse it, LOL. The 6GC was never sold in Puerto Rico AFAIK...only the 7GC and I think older generations. So there is only a few imported ones and mine is one of them...plus it is the nicest one in the area so everywhere I go, it gets attention...especially when the turbo sucks air like a Hoover and the Blitz vents to the atmosphere, LOL.

Some guy was like: "Hey, bring that Supra over here...I wanna check it out. I wa slike: "It's a Celica, my man". He was like: "Dude, you don't even know what car you drive...that is a Supra.

I can see how someone that doesn't know much about cars thinking it's one, the rear is about the same size, the main difference would be the side glass and most people have never seen a Supra except in the movies.

I've had that a few times too, where people tell me I have a sweet supra, or "move your supra out of the way so I can get my car out of the garage" haha, it's just that the supra was based off of the celica chassis, and if someone didn't know cars, they'd get confused.

The Supra and Celica share a similar look but that's it, they haven't been based off the same chassis since the Celica Supra was made.

Las thing about the Supra...the 6GC's LOOK was based off the MKIV Supra, not the other way around...even though Celica Supra was born first. That is what I read.

No, it is made just for the 6GC. It is a replica of the TRD one that doesn't sell anymore. The 7GC one is square and wider...the mounting is not angled like the 6GC.
