Agreed...

Again, to clarify, it does add compression to the rear wheels and increases grip to that axle. Increasing grip to the rear axle without affecting the front will change the handling of the car. (not necessarily good or bad, that's driver preference like a sway bar setting)

Why not a GT3 cup wing?

Not out of the question. There are some fittment issues because of the different air boxes but they can be overcome.

Other than that, it's a little over the top if I ever want to street drive the car again. :P

The Vorsteiner wing is a lot like the current 2010 GT3 wing.
