Unhappy Needs to go on Ebay

As salvage for parts...

Am hoping this is a photoshop trick & not a real vehicle.

So much hate for the spoiler... keep in mind that they DO actually serve a purpose...

But why the single exhaust? does that actually help performance?

For daily driving, the wing has no purpose, only if you go high speeds then it does serve a purpose...

There are a ton of folks that'll track their cars, and then go for dinner right afterwards in the same car

Isn't this car meant to be used for racing, though?

That's why I brought up the point about the spoiler...

It looks kind of like a DC-9 with that wing. It it properly equipped to communicate with control towers and other aircraft?

the more i thought about it, it looks like a mid 90"s streetracer is trying to relive his glory days. All it needs is a sniper decal on the front windshield and some neons under the body. as for the single tip, look at his wing, i doubt he is concerned with logical choices in his moddifications. I like how its titled as a "spy shot". this seems to be nothing more then some confused individual looking to get free gear from autobacs.

No man.... That thing sticking out of his trunk serves NO purpose what so ever. Unless its on a freaking jet car noone needs a wing spoiler!
