What, you think the new 3RS wing is too big for a street car???

It was huuuuuuuge...
I had a Japanese Cusco GT Spec wing on my STI for awhile, it was very neat at speed, it was (is) huge, you could most certainly feel it pushing the car down.
It did not take long for it to lose its appeal - when I removed it, picked up 4mpg, and, the car was noticeably quicker, so I left it off.
I get why areo is becoming so big, there is only so much more power they can extract from a na four liter, so the aero most certainly makes the car stickier around the track... But when I first saw the pic below yesterday, I though to my self, gee, that doesn't look to practical, I wonder what it is ...
The gt4rs wing is smaller, no?
Have yet to see one in person.

4RS wing is *way* smaller!
Local dealer got their first 3RS in this week...
4RS for comparison...
It's kind of interesting. A friend is looking at a 997 GT3 RS 4.0 and we were comparing specs to the GT4 RS... Identical or nearly identical displacement, horsepower, torque, wheelbase, length, width, height.... The 992 RS however has grown in every single proportion (except horsepower, which is still more or less identical to the 12 year older 4.0.

Where did you find such cool lights? Also interested in what dirt bike did you race?
