That car was very successful in hill climb events, and I believe the wing was designed especially for this type of event.

Unlike the typical ricer bling that adds nothing to performance, this CTR kicked some major ****...

Nope....

I love it when people bash this car when they don't realize that wing was actually NECESSARY for the speeds it was doing... This isn't some honda that can't get over 100MPH, the car did 225MPH+!!!

I've seen that before, too. IIRC (and I very well may not), I read something about it being possibly a Pike's Peak car.

Either way, the wing was there for a purpose, and the owner wins the prize for the most devoted adherence to the 'form follows function' dictum.

I couldn't do it, though.
