At least the tasteful fin on the back of my car serves 3 important purposes.
1 - It acts as an air scoop on the rear of the car to cram cooling air into the engine compartment.
2 - It sheds a vortex into the delaminating flow coming off the rear of the car which helps to close the flow of the air behind me and therefore reduces drag.
3 - It makes the rear of the car look great. I just cant appreciate a narrow body 911 without a fin after living with my 930 for so long. For those of you who dont get the experience every day here is a nice ass shot of someone elses 930 since I dont have any pictures of my own.
that is a beautiful car.One day i will get a 935 slant nose and a 928s.goto love the whale tail

come on guys the wing on the front of his car is to create down force on the front tires for the fwd and for rwd cars the wing should be in the back. eitherway the only way they help is when you are going 120+++mph which i dont know too many people that do.
personal i dislike wings so much i took off my factory one.Does that look normal to you?

How many wings does that white car have anyhow? 3? Theres that huge ass one in the back plus the obvious mini-wing in the front and is that a 3rd wing even farther back?
The front wing...I dont see a use for it. I dont even see how it improves how the car looks. The only reason I could even fathom someone having one is if they sell wings or something and just want to make a statement of some kind.

I dont really like the battle wings either but the wing on mine has 30% rear downforce. Some say that without the wing the Scirocco makes wind noise. Plus it looks wierd without one

Well yours is stock. It came that way from the factory.
