And if you think about the aerodynamics of an airplane wing. Round and smooth on top, flat and smooth on the bottom creates lift. Where in this picture looks to have the most lift? The front, engine area. Where in the picture looks to have the least amount of lift? Right there at the back wheels! BAM! Ass-end plants + get-up-and-go + real wheel drive = MOAR FUN!

I've always been a FWD driver (mainly because that's all they came in) until I got my Genesis Coupe and now, if it's FWD at all, it is placed at the bottom of my "Oooooh! Yeeeeesssss" list, not that it would be removed, just that it would be moved down. RWD is so much more fun. I think my Genesis has similar underbelly (I would have to check), after all they are family. I'm sure most modern cars now have something like this under them to help with aerodynamics but I never thought about disturbing the airflow right there at the rear wheels to decrease lift until seeing this picture. But then again, they have those plates right there at the rear wheels to help a little bit with airflow. Who knows, I'm probably over thinking things, again. LOL

Uh, You would have to be going pretty fast to get any lift off of that, and lift is the LAST thing you want at speed. All fast cars build in spoilers and front lips and what not to create downforce not lift.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right, where the rubber meets the road. The more contact you have, the better grip. The better your grip, the more friction you have, the more resistance you have, etc. etc. "Every little bit adds up!" hahahaha

Interesting read... Put F1 front and rear spoilers on your car and go an estimated 120MPH and drive on the ceiling! While theoretically possible; not probable. I know I wouldn't be the one strapped in for the test. LOL
