Do wings do anything at normal speeds or are they just for looks?

At street legal speeds, nothing.

They're just as effective for cars as they are for chickens
>>
factory stock wings normally don't do anything but create drag, lowering your fuel efficiency

aftermarket wings that haven't been tuned to your car in a wind tunnel also do nothing

Wings that have been tuned to your car in a wind tunnel create downforce which you wont need unless you race or drive at illegals speeds on public roads.

Please don't respond to chicken boi threads.

Downforce isn't real.
>>
>>17427262
At normal highway speeds wings aren't significant enough to matter

but at 100+mph you'll start to see a difference

Spoilers are not wings, spoilers "spoil" the air, reducing drag and saving gas mileage
>>
Mostly for looks if you're doing regular driving. No effect on car until after a certain speed.
On track, different story. Depending on driving I guess. Idk. Fuck you

>reducing drag and saving gas mileage
wtf I thought their purpose was to push down on the rear wheels
>>
>>17427697
Yes, that's what a wing does. >>17427262 is a spoiler, as are most things attached to cars you can buy at a dealership, short of a Viper ACR or something. Notice how it has almost no ability to generate downforce, maybe except for those two scoops on the top.
>>
>>17427697
That's what a wing does. A wing is not a spoiler in all technicality but people often interchange the two freely.

Look at the shape of a spoiler its like the shape of an airplane wing. It generates lift and reduces drag. A wing is shaped like a big wave that increases drag to push the car lower to the ground improving traction
>>
>>17427721
so if I took a spoiler off, turned it around and it bolted it back in itd behave like a wing?

No, it'd just fuck up your airflow. A spoiler doesn't give you upforce, it just adjusts the airflow around the car giving you less drag.

>>17427262
yeah they let everyone know you're a spic
