Happen to notice that those are all high-end, ultra-expensive cars, where engineers spend hours REDUCING lift to IMPROVE performance?

Thanks for proving my point that people that actually know things about aerodynamics know that lift isn't good.


Also, the new Beetle Turbo has an active spoiler. It rises at highway speeds to reduce lift and increase control. Caught a glimpse of that this morning.


Oh, and Frank. You're still not factoring in the fact that mass doesn't just magically dissapear. Anyone knows that's a basic law of physics. Inertia still holds, so that weight that's no longer on the tires from lift holds your car from turning, or keeps it turning, with less available traction to work against inertia.

Once again, thank you for proving me right, "dumb ***".
