Originally posted by AEagle40True, decent sports cars require the use of a spoiler. These REAR WHEEL DRIVE sports cars use a spoiler to increase downforce on the wheels that are litteraly driving the car. In the case of front-wheel drive Civics and the like, the weight of the engine block is pushing down on the drive wheels, so a spoiler is unnecessary. People watch "The Fast and the Furious" too many times and think that spoilers magically add horsepower or increase torque or something. Spoilers only work on cars with the rear wheels being driven or with all wheel drive cars. (IE the big wing on the WRC Impreza WRX) Several supercars, like the McLaren F-1 and Saleen S-7, don't require the use of a spoiler because they use an air venting system which creates a vaccum between the car and the road to hold the drive wheels down and keep the car stable at high speeds. I believe that Car And Driver recently had an article about the S-7 and said something along the lines that it could drive on an inverted surface at full speed and not fall off. Sort of like a real life Men In Black scene in the tunnel going to Queens. Hope that helps clear some stuff up.
But IMO the spoilers that actually come with the cars that need them look good because they are supposed to be there.
Thanks for explaining

Sometimes at school I see kids who have these like 1990's used Civics or whatever and added a spoiler to the things in the back and some sort of funny looking hubcaps. Those cars look so tacky, what a waste of money.

spoilers are absolutely useless in civilian cars. They are there merely as a show-off.
But in race cars, they sort of act as an "anti-wing" of sorts. There is low pressure on the top, and high pressure on the bottom, so that it creates a force pushing downwards, so that the racecar sticks to the road during turns

I wonder if that thing will tip over backwards when (and if) it does accelerate

The Car...I wouldn't drive that thing if I had to. I'd rather walk to school than pull up in that!
