Hey guys, and gurls.
Look at the way the wind flows over our lovely cars. The coupe is almost a perfect wedge shape.

i want that model of the coupe. that thing was cool. i can see that a rear wing would probably work well, if it was needed, unlike the sedan.

After seeing the wind tunnel testing picture of the Sedan, I wonder if the Lorinser Rear Deck Spoiler for the Sedan really does something.

Yea, good question. Looks like they lowered the front end on that sedan a good 1 1/2 inches, I don't think my C320 sits that low in front!
Is that a desert silver or brilliant silver sedan. The contrast between the body panels and the chrome trim seems to indicate it's ds. I can't tell for sure, (but of course would prefer it was ds. Ha!
Anecdote... I was passed the other day on the Interstate by a Pontiac Grand Am (I think) with that Lorinser (style) rear deck spoiler. It was attached to the trunk lid in three places, but the right post was broken. One would think that if there were any value to these, that the spoiler would be pinned to the trunk. But this one was actually rising off the trunk as if to take off! No downforce here... Funny!

The sedan pictured has the sports package. Does anyone know if it is lower than the norm? It certainly looks lower.
