every body style will be a little different like how the US cars front bumper is father out then the UK version in the wind tunnel pic. i would think that the US bumper would make the air break sooner creating less drag. i guess ????

Akerlie, No spoiler actually made the 924 have more drag. The 924 turbo with the small wing dropped drag down to .33 (or.34) from .37 for the original, no spoiler 924.

I'm guessing a 944 wing created more drag and more downforce?
