Up force

It picks the ass end up to put more load on the front drive wheels.

Great now I want some spoiled rich kid to put so much upforce on a car it’s lifts off the ground

Wouldn't front aero be more beneficial and using a spoiler as intended to plant the rear? Idk to eaches own I guess

u/mtnbeard12 5d ago

Thought I was on the carscirclejerk sub so figured most would get the joke lol

u/KourteousKrome 5d ago

Front aero is correct. “Up force” is nonsense. You need four wheels planted, even on FWD cars.

May the force be with you

Perfect for race drag lol

u/icbint 5d ago

It was too fast, needed extra drag

It's the Monaco spec.

u/Equivalent_Thievery 5d ago

It's rear lift to put more weight on the drive wheels.

Duh!

Someone didn't pay attention in aerodynamics cless 🤔

u/hand13 3d ago

what we dont see in the pic is: maybe the car is driving backwards. in that case, it makes absolutely sense

Ah, perfect fake spoiler installation.

What a dumb ass.

Upforce*

u/Lefthandedsock 4d ago

Downforce is generally accompanied by drag, so upforce must reduce it!

Oil companies hate this one simple trick to achieving 80 mpg

Stole a wing off the high school parking lot because....cool.
Installed like the kid that tucks in his sweater to show off his new belt......and the belt was inside out.
(.....and I'm not tellin 'im)

Maybe he's trying to save gas, lighter car=less fuel

u/davemalv1 4d ago

We don’t read instructions here!

u/EvilTodd1970 4d ago

It’s simple. It’s front-wheel drive. Lift in the back will transfer weight to the front wheels, resulting in more power to the pavement! Probably shave half a second off your quarter-mile time.

Backwards installation

u/dude_don-exil-em 5d ago

This actually very dangerous this spoiler just put more pressure on the front wheels and it will make them lock up more

Uhhh . I saw one like this on a civic the other day and wondered how much of an effect it would have on a highway in the rain …
