I've seen data showing that vortex generators allow air to stay on the surface of the rear of the car better, and improving the effectiveness of spoilers (as shown by studies on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII).. But what if you don't have a wing?
Discuss lift-reducing and downforce-making aero tricks!

Ford has already spent a few million dollars in wind tunnel development time to make sure the Tempo won't have stability issues at posted speeds.It's good that you're thinking safety,it's just that Ford can't afford for you or anyone else in a Ford product to get out of shape in a crosswind gust.
