and regardless of what kind of speed your car (or anyone elses for that matter) may be able to hit on the straights I doubt it is going to decelerate or corner as fast...and that is what makes that experience so unique.

a spolier increases drag and will only make it harder to reach those kinds of speeds.

I didn't see where the article said anything about 200mph but I'm pretty sure the only ALMS cars that might be able to do 200 on a typical circuit would be the LM-P1 class and I doubt any of them hit 200 at Laguna.

and actually a spoiler can either reduce lift or reduce drag - not both - front spolier can keep the front down - to much rear without commensurate front can make for an unstable car.

The purpose of the spoiler would e to keep my ass on the ground so i can actully hit those speeds. As some of yall might not relize since it seems to be a trend around here to put them on FWD cars, Spoilers are made for RWD/AWD cars b/c when there ass starts lifting off the ground they cant go anywhere. It doesnt require 600hp to get a car to go 200mph. and theres a big diffrence in 180 and 200. Roughtly it takes 15% more hp for every 10miles over 70 that was required to get to 70.
ideally you would want to use it with a spliter (a spoiler on the front) to help balance the car
