Form fits function. =) Of course on that car it would need it.

The one's sold by Top Secret and other JDM tuners are real, for performance. Those I like.
So distinguish between the real ones and the fake ones.

That's definitely made only for looks (I don't know why.......its hideous) I also dont think any street car would need a spoiler like that or even an authentic JDM peice.
Now if your gonna be running your car at the track an application like this would be acceptable considering the Z's zero lift design.
Nothing in the world would make me put it on my Z.....

I don't want to get into another arguement about whether spoilers work or not, cause it's been test/proven.

Most of you have the wing idea backwards. A wing that large would begin giving you usable downforce at less then highway speeds. The lip spoilers from the factory is what cleans up air flow and therefore increases stability, but only at high speeds, which unless your riding mid RPM in 6th at way more then legal speed your not actually using to full potential. You guys do realize that a fully race preped version of a production car usualy only increases it's top speed by maybe 15mph, and if these guys are designing spoilers for cars to take advantage of only that, it would only equate to what, maybe 5 seconds in a lap total, I don't think so.
Look I hate gawdly spoilers use cheap materials and only mimic GT style wings, but fully adjustable, quality built, aluminium/CF wing I'm all for. I plan to track my car a reasonable amount and eventualy plan to get a "ricer" kit. The performance increase might be slite at road speeds but if it means beating you the I'm in. And at the track... look why don't you guys spend five minutes at a Gran Am Cup race, those are nearly stock cars that reach speeds of around 140-170mph.... wait doesn't Z reach 155mph electronicaly limited??? The series has open pits and the engineers love to chat. Talk to them about telemetry and ask what kind of difference they make. Then try and convice them of your theory and see how many teams remove their fugly GT wings.
