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!
