i was reading the forum about civic ex 2001 and civic 00 si racing he mentioned
"My Civic is stock and the Si had exhaust and 2 nice looking gauges, jejeje....and a big Fast and
the Furious spoiler. I think the big spoiler was giving him like 25hp more.........jejejejeje.."
Well and ways is it true that a big spoiler can give you 25hp or more.
Does the stock honda spoiler for 2001 give you any HP????
Thanks id appericate they question being answered im really curious about this.

Rep Power: 0 Sure, the right spoiler can reduce air drag and seem to improve power. They can also make your car stick to the ground better or screw it up. It's all a matter of design. Watch the race cars that adjust the angle of the spoiler at different points on the track.

Rep Power: 417 it's supposed to give you more traction cause the wind hits it and causes your car to stick to the ground more. however i don't think it really makes a difference in front wheel drive cars like ours... maybe in a rear wheel drive...

just to add to what BARTKAT said:
A spoiler is an aerodynamic add-on that goes across the trunk or back of a vehicle to deflect the direction of airflow and reduce drag. A front spoiler is technically an "air dam" because it prevents air from getting under the car and increasing drag.

Rep Power: 0 Actually, a spoiler is supposed to keep your wheels on the ground to keep the car from actually "flying". But that only works when you're going at more or less around 100 miles per hour.

Rep Power: 0 Why do I get the feeling that these questions are intentionally ment to disrupt our site!!!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG].I mean if you wanted to know how the aerodynamic functions of a wing works, that one thing....but to ask if it actually gives HP, that is a little hard for me to believe......I would believe that the question is ment to make our site look like ignorant ricers to others or belittle our site more.....so therefore I'm considering this a rediculous post that in my eyes does more harm than good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
