BC ..." Mmmmmm .... Drag ........" However , I am not sure where Kibort came up with that number for downforce ? The rear wings are largely cosmetic ........neither has been tested .

Hahahaha! True... Wings cause drag...
But on a racetrack, or on the highway, I would think the downforce would be preferable.
Unless you are going for top speed...
I know that the Lamborghini Countach is much faster for top speed, in the early form,
without all the wings on it...
Thus active aero is the ideal soloution.
Wings that retract when not cornering...

Hmmmm....I will be interested in a fiberglass S4 rear bumper, S4 front bumper and Lexan rear window....if the price is right 
Let us know if anyone else is interested......
However $1,800 for the carbon hatch is way too expensive for what it is....
