it if was a pos eclispe or civic ok, but a viper is a different story. A viper could actually use the wing and go faster than 150mph.

the wing is a little high for my taste, but viper’s are still badass IMHO.

Seriously, I remember reading about that car in Motor Trend when it came out. When that car was designed and built Hennesey wanted to do a structural wing for high-speed stability. As such they watned to tie it directly into the body. I thought I remember reading it had to be that high so the rear glass could open (think Superbird here, those wings were that high so the trunk could still open). I’m not saying it looks good, but it is truely functional and was wind-tunnel tested (along w/ the front facia etc.) and had to be that tall for a reason.
