^The CRX on the front cover...
Notice anything between the 2 front bumpers? The difference is 20+ years of wheel-to-wheel racing knowledge built and driven by the legend Andy Hope himself. If all the kewl stuff on the front of fortunes civic were effective, shouldn't the CRX have just as much front 'aero'? In this case, less is sometimes more. Or maybe Andy Hope just hasn't caught the same message that you guys are trying to tell me.

Really? You were able to look at a picture of a car you've never driven, or probably ever seen for that matter, and immedietly make outragous assumtions on how you could make the car faster than the person/shop who has countless hours of build time and hours of seat time?

Also, let it be known I'm far from a fortune nut rider. I know very little about this car, but making bullshit "that doesn't work" claims based on a picture you saw on the internet is fucking stupid.

& about their wing, yeah it's hella sturdy but with that angle, you minus well have the stock hatch glass open or have a BYS spoiler on it.
There's a difference of downforce and drag. It 'could be better' if some more 'R&D' was done is all I'm sayin, or just a quick glimpse of what google has to offer about aero. Yeah it may look cool to the unknowing eye, but LOOKing cool will win you trophies at a car show, not at a competition.

Has anybody actually put the car in a wind tunnel to see how it reacts to the wind? NO.. Have they driven the car well? YES.. But on the other hand does all the WOW factor of the euro actually work, or is it just there for show? Nobody knows the true function of the AERO pieces since it hasnt been wind tunnel tested.

Vadriven: Where faggots on a computer know more about a race car than the owners.

You're absolutely right, he should take it to the nearest go-fast shop, and get them to add sheets of metal everywhere onto the front bumper to make it go faster around the track.

3rd place isn't winning. But hey, that's still great for the drivers first time on the course and good for them, they'd shave off even more time with proper aero is all I'm saying 
over and over and over and over again with no basis in fact or real information on said car.
