I always wondered about this, so should you get the mini spoiler before doing the speed runs, or will this just make the front end light?
It would take a LOT of downforce to produce lift at the front; Much more than you need to offset the lift at the back.
You don't "need" a wing to go fast, but it makes the car feel a lot more secure at speed, and IMO, easier to control.

There is also a lot of lift at the back of the car. A wing can eleminate the rear lift, but adds drag, lowering the cars top speed.
Top speed runs going down an incline don't really count.
Our RX300 will do 150 if the hill is steep enough and long enough, but the top speed on a level road is closer to 110.
