looks cleaner.
I agree that they do look better without the wing but the Evo and STI wings actually create downforce and help handling at higher speeds. In fact, the larger rear wing and roof wing on the 06 STI is one of the most significant performance upgrades from the 05 model.
Exactly - both the Lancer and the Impreza are cars where the wings really do their job... [/quote]

What they said.. Even on a FWD car a wing will create downforce which helps keeping that rear tyres on the ground but as you said only on racing cars.. Well on over to the Evo and Subaru well both wings and the Vortex thing above the rear window does make a great effect on the car handling and straight line performance the car at hight speed becomes not very stable with the help of the wing it does..
