Correct. Just like airplane wings except the "lift" goes towards the ground... It's called "lift-induced drag"...

i think it should bypass the nomination process and just win worst of 2019. Especially for the title.

Both are correct.
konafever is using a sign change to comply, e.g You add drag by moving the wing AOA upwards creating up force not down force. In both cases drag is still proportional to the square of the velocity and you don't get to move the angle of the RS wing without a corresponding changing in drag characteristics

I know, the envy abounds! When Porsche completed the recalibration of GT3 parameters for the Touring, who knew it would be so great?! It is not the rarity but the whole package, especially the rear wheel steering on bumpy roads. Winged guys won't get it because thy're going in circles on smooth track, but when you take the back roads some surfaces are less then perfect and the Touring shines
I actually use my Touring every nice day and it is a 2019. In 5 days I put 1100 break in miles and did an oil change. Now ready for the summer whenever it comes to the Mid West
