A spoiler provides down force. In the case of my car the shape of the hood, the big hood scoop, the air dam push down on the front, and the spoiler keeps the rear wheels down. You trying to tell me that a front wheel drive car can't loose rear wheel traction? >> No, it can but applying substantial downforce to a FWD car will lift the >> front end, thus breaking traction (this applies to the guy who abused his >> dad's credit card for the big spoiler and didn't think it all the through, >> so there's no ground effects to created suction to counter) >>There's a guy who works in the building next to me who has a Toyota Celica >>with a spoiler that looks like he swiped it from Don Garlits' Top Fuel >>Dragster, a big exhaust and the stock body panels (read no ground effects) >>and he swears that he'll outrun anything on the road.

A 1000 hp 4 is usually going to have a twin turbo set up, huge or non-existent exhaust, big injectors, all new onboard electronics and custom mappings, all new internals.
