Interesting A3, rear spoilers

[Kwattro at aol.com]

Are you suggesting that FWD cars are not in need of rear downforce?  My GT 
may not agree with you, and neither would I at the bottom of the downhill at 
Limerock traveling over 90 mph.  At that point, downforce is a very good and 
very necessary thing.. and although I haven't measured it, I'd be willing to 
bet that it's a good 2 inches off the deck...What about all of the FWD 
touring cars (including the audis) that run with spoilers?  Yes, overstated 
on a Civic, but the Si's sure boogey.  I think it's more funny when Accords, 
Camrys, and (Achhh!) Oldsmobiles have rear spoilers.  Also, for those listers 
argueing that the GT is much slower than the Ur-Q, and doesn't need a 
spoiler, look at the US bound TQC, which had trouble topping 130mph stock, 
only about 10mph faster than the stock GT.  

Later!
