I believe they are functional to some point.....I agree,usually at higher speeds......but they do create a bit of drag also....not much because of their lack of rake.....nothing that a little more horsepower couldn't overcome

FWIW, the ITR brochure lists the following under "Body/Structural Enhancements":
>Stiffened body structure for exceptional rigidity and suspension control
>High rear wing for added stability
>Chin spoiler for improved aerodynamics

Better yet, King motorsports did a test of for car and Driver (using Mugen Mikes current car i think) and they picked up like 2-3 mph of top speed so there is some drag but pretty minimal unless you have unlimited running room.
I got worms.

I think I want it :happysad:.
It would seem fairly logical that the wing would keep the rear end from becoming squirly during trailbraking. Same with the gas mileage thing, less drag, less effort.
