True, but moorecomp has a point. If the vehicle does not need any more downforce, I wouldn't go out of my way to add more. Many sports cars have high drag coefficients as a result of the downforce produced/ required to run 180+ mph. There has been a few discussions about front splitters, I would argue that it is more efficient to redirect the air around the vehicle, than to have it apply force and push down on the splitter. Anytime you have the car push the air, you're adding drag.
