although im not a fan of the looks of that wing..there is a difference between that wing..and the apr ones you see in the apc booth at pepboys.when i was running an open lapping practive event at streets of willow, there was a a couple DC2's running that gt wing, and they were actually pulling in every few laps and adjusting it. so i dunno.
regardless that hatch is dope besides the looks of the wing.
wow, a car with road race parts..that actually road races..what a concept..lol

Mmm...that thing is sick. I saw someone post earlier how the guy was biting realtime's paint scheme. I think it looks good and it definetly looks like one mean track car.

Um I guess you guys are confused...this is a Race car...not a show car.
That wing most likely has a use...as in keeping the back wheels planted at higher speeds...
is everyone on here against wings no matter what the purpose?

Are those ctr headlights? Thats the only thing I like. Looks like someone forgot to put an intake on there.

Those are individual throttle bodies (can't remember the exact name). Cool car all functional.

What race, series and class Is the car competing in? and the wing? if I saw it on the street, it would be gay. But if it makes your race car faster...who cares what it looks like!

My brother had a wing like that on his hatch so I kicked the crap out of him.

LOL that a few of you still have beef with the wing. I mean, yes it looks different but this is a purpose built car, so all looks are to be put aside. It does look similar to the GT wings all over the stupid pepboys cars all over town, but this road race civic is one good exception to the rule.
I am in love with the steering wheel and the Stack (?) gauge pod/display bolted up to it

Apparently. I guess the F1 cars should remove both wings because they look rice?

So it's RICE when a F1 has a wing? WHY? Because it goes 200MPH and does 4+ G's in the corners? OH, right, that wing actually has a purpose. It holds the rear (DRIVE) wheels down at extreme speeds, and the front wheels to control cornering.
What's that Honda got? 255HP, and FWD? So that wing does what again????
Somehow, I don't think that wing (AS BIG AS IT IS) does ****. A smaller version would suffice just fine.

WTF?
If any of you guys even spoke to Yasu from Racing Craft, I think you'd understand that every single piece on that car serves a purpose - including that wing.
You guys are cracking me up busting on that wing, like YOU know what the wing will and won't do on that car under RACE conditions!
Please keep the wing cracks coming, and please try to justify why you think the wing is dumb, because that "logic" is cracking me up.
Thanks for the giggles y0!

yes it is a bad *** car
some of you dont really know what is in the car or why it was built
the wing does have its purpose as if he removes it the car will probably spin...
his suspension is nuts 30 way crux coilovers with real high spring rates near or above 1000lb rates
Yasu is the man
and i do know he will outdrive just about anyone
I have raced with him and he is the man to beat
and that was when this was a streetcar
now its a full racecar and its way beyond insane
also yes i was at Lime Rock
and it would help to bring a notebook
what i learned on suspension setup there
I will apply to my car...I did learn tons about tuning also
anyone happen to look at RTRs spark plugs?
anyway
if one doesnt like Yasu's car
dont look at it

This car performs in that area of speed (Trans AM is fast, but not that fast). The wing is functional. If you don't like it, don't race it.
