That's interesting. Did they include improved lap times with the extra downforce?

they mention its great for tracks, but didn't include data on that... from the look of the picture I think they did it on the street?!

Useless information then. There's no way you could actually prove it helped you without doing laps of the track to see what effect it had (if any, other than killing your mileage). Wings like that aren't useful on the street anyways, because of the kind of speed you need to generate that downforce.
