The Benefits of an Aftermarket Rear Spoiler or Wing
Muscle car rear spoilers and wings might be famous for their great looks, but in reality, they’re all about performance. In short, rear spoilers and wings help keep your vehicle’s rear wheels firmly attached to the ground. Through airflow and downforce, they increase traction with the rear wheels. As your muscle car approaches higher speeds, the car essentially gets lighter, rising slightly and losing some of its connection to the road.A performance rear spoiler or wing will effectively make the rear of the car act heavier, without actually adding much weight at all. The result is that the rear wheels stay better connected to the ground, improving not just your handling, but also your acceleration.
Choosing Between a Performance Rear Spoiler and a Rear Wing
There are a few important differences between rear spoilers and rear wings. Spoilers are basically integrated into the vehicle, and look like a lip coming off the rear of your car. Wings are elevated above the rear of the vehicle, often by a substantial amount. Wings add more downforce at high speeds, but impact aerodynamics at lower speeds less than rear spoilers. In general, if you want to improve your muscle car’s performance on your favorite backroad, a spoiler will provide the biggest upgrade. But if you have a track car that is testing its limits on the track, you’ll want a rear wing.
