I'm learning what you are really about.
If you have something constructive to say, then say it. The negative tone does nothing for me.
I'm sticking to what I first said, the wing posted would do more good over the rear window than under it.
EDIT-1: I think this is related to the same general topic.

In a nutshell, the information shared with me by the Ford aerodynamic office in Dearborn, (data from the FOG wind tunnel) indicates that there is no negative lift (down force) generated by the bi plane nor the single wing aero package. The bi plane wing is an adaption from Fords first aero research vehicle done in Germany in the mid 70's. It had the biplane wings and the look in the backlite and C pillars. The car also had active aero skirts and front spoilers...etc etc. very very advanced. The bi plane wing is designed purely for reduction of drag only. For its time the XR4 has extremly low drag numbers. .328 for production ride height bone stock car. With a frontal area of 21 sq feet (same as mustang) our cars are rather slippery. The engineers and stylists did an excellent job of working together for some good comprimises.
