Just  about everybody gave the answer that I expected.  Use Ballast - not  
downforce.  This being the case, why do so many cars - - door slammers,  have 
these monster, exotic spoilers (almost wings) on the rear deck  lids.  Why not 
leave the body alone and just add weight without adding  all that additional 
drag? 



Are you talking about LSR? I don't see that many "big" spoilers in LSR  
except for some of the big bad blown fueler type engines, most of the lower  
classes with normal aspiration remove their spoilers.
