Niky made an article regarding this pala. HeheBut this advantage works mostly for “10-second” race cars. These are cars which go over 200kph in the quarter mile. For “10-second” street cars—10 seconds just to get to 100kph— such modifications don’t do much. Still, once the ‘cool’ people started doing it, it became a case of “monkey see, monkey do.”

That article answered my question...
Another question, however, is that why the said guy, Niky, is no longer active here in this forum.
I think I stumbled on his post but I can't recall where.
Well, at least it's better than those huge "wing" type spoilers being mounted on some hatchbacks like Eons and Wigos that look really ricey.![]()
What those bozos don't realize is that too much rearward downforce actually impairs handling since the rear tires will be too "grippy", countering steering input from the front wheels. That is, assuming the spoilers actually "work" since those cars usually can't get over 140kph anyway
===
As to the Black Honda, maybe the downward angle might (repeat, might) help with the rear turbulence common to hatchbacks, but without wind tunnel testing who knows?![]()
Yung published top speed ng Mirage is 167-170kph (per Mitsubishi brochure).
A 1.2 liter engine in a car that small & light, pwede siguro. Pero more likely, under ideal conditions yun.![]()
I have a kia picanto 1.2L engine automatic.. easily reached 140kph.. first time i got it from eastwest depo at sanford bicutan exit to sucat exit tinesting ko agad.. kaya 140kph..
Sa sctex from baguio sustained 160kph.. kasi gabi na hehe.. car feel is very stable during the drive rpm ko nasa past 4k lang
tama ka dito bro.
may wigo E (MT) gen1 kami, kaya niya 140Kph pero dapat nasa 4th gear * 6k rpm (using 205/45r17 tires during testing), natest ko siya from Paranaque toll booth (kabihasnan cavitex entry) hanggang paliko ng papuntang macapagal (pacific drive), yung sa may bridge.
44 or 46 whp sa dyno (hub dyno) nung nagtrip kami icheck. hahaha.
mas mataas HP ng gen 2 dahil vvti na.
sobrang light ng steering feel ng wigo running 80kph above.
masasabi ko rin na matibay engine niya, base kung paano namin siya gamitin, ang mahina sakanya yung clutch, madali masunog, makapal pa pero sliding na.
^anong kotse yan, Avanza o Yaris? May stepboard, snorkel. I specially like the roof rack & double spoiler. Must be generating a ton of down force.
Would be interesting to see the inside too. Stuffed toys on the dash? Black quilted leatherette seats with contrast stitching? Disco ball, neon lights?
