Off-topic TalkWhere overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.
With all the pictures on this board of "modified" cars with those oh so very special rear wings, I thought this one would be right at home! This one as you can see has lateral force and down force applied by custom fabricated "fins". I asked the owner what the HP gains were, and while he hasn't had the whale car dyno'd, he thought it would be at least 100 HP for the paint job alone!
This is a daily driver, and can be seen on the streets around Anchorage!
You know whats sad about that... Here in San Diego we have an "amusement park" called Sea World. Well One day i was on the freeway and i noticed about 10 or so new beetles that look just like the on in the pic above. They are all owned by Sea World and are used to PR the place i guess. I was thinking that they were just for like a day or so, but now a year or so later, i still see them driving around. Very sad. I'll try to snap a pic when i see one again. I usually see them once every week or so.
