at what point can you say the cobra r rear spoiler or one on an import are any different in functionality?
Well, for starters the Cobra R's rear deck spoiler is functional and most import spoilers are not. A person would seriously have to be dense to think that 99% of the so called "sport compacts", (import and domestic a like) being produced in the last 10-years actually sport factory or aftermarket rear spoilers for their functionality. For starters......most of them are front wheel drive with less than 200hp a even less torque on tap. You can't honestly think most manufactures and aftermarket dealers had anything other than flashing the car up and making money in mind when they built these things do you? I mean.....is the Honda Civic, Hyundai Tiburon or any other car of the like with Mickey Moused sized brakes, pizza cutter width wheels and tires and 115lbs/ft of torque automatically considered a race car because it's got a goofy looking deck spoiler?
Need more facts to back the Cobra R's reasoning body enhancements and rear spoiler....feel free to read this.

the cobra would need to be going at an incredible rate of speed to make that thing useful.
I dunno....how’s a quarter mile time in the high-12's at over 110mph, a top speed of 175mph, the ability to pull over 1.2g's on the skid pad and go from 70 mph to 0 in 160 feet grab ya?
another car, take for instance the lancer evo, could be modified easily to go just as fast yet if it has a large wing it is called a ricer wing rather than functional. .[/QUOTE]
The Lancer Evo, like the Cobra R was a purpose built car, not a glorified econobox
the statement about the wheels...you have no proof they are heavy and will exxessivly slow the car down, yet it was pointed out right away because its obvious they are larger. the chrome wheels on my car have got to be one of the heaviest wheels on the market, or better yet the blinging 20s on the new saleens, but thats not even mentioned...ever. put 20s on an import - ricer, but 20s on a mustang - doesnt matter.[/QUOTE]
Look....who cares what they weigh. They were put on for their looks, not their ability to perform. Adding them to a car that already runs a mid-15-second quarter mile and doesn't make enough torque to turn a door know isn't going to make it perform any better.
This thread is so funny! But i am still laughing my ass off at the guy calling the celica ugly
