first their parents give them a 911. then they jump ahead and ask for more money for the spoiler the kid is gonna get for his 911. how much downforce do you really need?. none. if the spoiler is weighing the car down. you won't have to worry about going anywhere because you now have shitty gas mileage.
. but on the plus side. he now has a outdoor bookshelf for some funk & wagnalls.

Somebody needs to tell this guy that the tail on the "Moby Dick" Porsche was really long, not really tall.

Isn't part of the definition of "rice" "all show and no go", and dubious functionality? To me that looks like Steve Beddor's Ruf CTR 2 that he used to kick everybody's a$$ in the Virginia City Hill Climb in 2001 (check out www.nsxfiles.com -> Pulp Stories -> Chapter 70, for example), for umpteenth time in a row. So it's nor a 911 nor a Porsche, it's not some rich kid's toy (okay, arguable;), but the "kid" is well past teens and has worked for the money), and that wing, however ugly it may be, actually adds needed grip. Sure there's a lot of weight in the rear, but you don't want the rear to break loose in a high-speed corner and end up trying to dent a mountain. Verdict: not rice, but I wouldn't call it pretty.

#26, verdic: Rice.
ususally (with the exception of the cayanne) - Porsche makes great cars that handle well enough on most driving surfaces - incluuding winding roads. From the factory - A Porsche is quite capible and a retratable duck-tail spolier provides just the right ammount of downforce need to make the car handle well (for a rear engined car). Something like this rediculous attrocity is useless as it is disgusting and would never be needed to increase handling or speed.

It would appear that it is his car, but just going from a single photo like this, it is rather hard to tell whether or not it was done to serve a function.

#28, Porsche makes cars for "normal" driving (and anyway, Ruf != Porsche; Ruf's considered a separate mfr under German law). Even though they are apparently quite useful track tools stock, you need more grip when you're trying to win races. Just looks at Porsche's race cars and the wings. Besides, your argument is faulty in another sense too. Active aerodynamics are a recent addition (more recent than the model (1997 911) CTR2 is based, IIRC), and anyway that small spoiler is meant for normal traffic. You fail to understand that the needs of racing aren't the same as the needs of street driving. Don't be fooled into thinking that any car is suitable for every purpose in stock form, regardless of who the manufacturer is.

#31, You fail to notice the lack of taste involved in this crude and otherwise disgusting excuse for a wing (Hence the whole purpose of this damn site). I couldn't care less if it was intended for curved uphill ass racing - it's still as useless as it is tasteful - but then again - when is a lawyer or a day-trader outfitted with a GT2 going to start racing? Oh that's right. As soon as the wallet is devoid of the one-hundred thousand dollars needed to buy one - then you gotta dump 3000 dollars into an fugly wing because it's Porsche - it's not like the engineers at Porsche spent countless hours trying to perfect the car in all aspects.
Futhermore - i like the fact that my car is not intended for any purpose. Instead of driving it like all the stupid do - i'll just use it as a meat locker because it was built like that ever since it left the factory.

#29, if it helps any, the Rufs he used in previous years didn't have huge wings, but the times weren't as good. In 2000 he had a smaller one (in the same car), and was a second slower (which would've been enough for a win in 2001). In 1999, same car, even smaller wing, almost as fast as in 2001. ASSuming close to identical conditions (I can't be bothered to read the stories again right now), he's probably hit the limit where the extra drag negates any advantage he has in corners (which are high-speed, and there aren't many; IIRC 15 corners in the space of 5.2 miles). Now it's functional, but any bigger and it'll hurt performance even with the power he has. As for the odd-looking vertical supports, I'm ASSuming an off-the-shelf (pun unintended) wing with custom bits to raise it.
I could've posted the link to the story itself, but it wouldn't be polite.:)

#33, right - and what company is going to carry a meter high fiberglass wing for a Porsche in it's stock?
i ASSume pep-boys would - but i ASSume i could buy one at a drugstore. I got money to blow on a Porsche - why not throw crap at it instead?

that is a real Ruf Porsche. I think someone should sneak up to this car and chop the ugly part of the wing off since the round part of the spoiler is origional.

not a real one. It's a regular 993. Saw it and World of Wheels last summer.

I can believe the wing was functional. Just think of all the winged monstrosities at Pikes Peak.
