Dodge Ram SRT10 wing = American rice

pointless to answer you but,
ok, let see if you understand this...the stability of a pick up is not as good as the stability of a car or a sports car....did you understand that??
well, the srt-10 pickup has a srt10 viper engine on it, that means big power...
since the pickup is unstable, they add a wing, to add downforce,
haven't you seen the pickuptruck races? hu? well try to investigate a lil more about that truck and you will see the differnce beetwen rice and functionality!
8) keep it kool bro

well econo hatchbacks with lil skinny tires and soft springs aren't as stable as a race/sports car with fat tires, stiff springs and rigid frames, so wings are functional on them too right? NOT !
so it a lil honda has "big power" and can pull 12 sec 1/4 mile times , then wings arent' rice? NOT.
it's a pickup truck, nuff said, it's texan hickville long grain rice. hahahahaha

shit, you need to read some more, it depends on the use that u are gonna give to the car (the econo hatchbacks), if its for SHOW, thats rice, if you are gonna use it for street use, thats rice, if you are gonna used at a drag strip, thats no rice even if its a honda...only at drag strips, theres diference beetwen aerodinamics and stupidity, i know that the shit i talked goes for the srt.10 too but, i think the wing is for drivers and passenger security;
"The rear wing is one of the most unusual features of the truck and it is fully functional, providing a 165 pound reduction in lift and provides a reduction in drag, which is a rarity for a wing. "
and.. read some more! look at this

165 LBS?!?! I bet if someone's fat sister (165 lbs) sat on it, it would break. hahahaha. btw I dont have a fat sister.

thats how i define rice as well, if thers no function associated with it at all.
ie turbo timers on NA cars, shift lights on automatics, fake blow off valves etc
also its stupid to use a wing on a drag strip. wings will always have drag, but the advantages overcome disadvantages on a circuit
