that's a moot point. If you drive around with track aero, and don't track your car, you're a hardparker, not a ricer.

Thinking that the splitter you just got actually DOES SOMETHING, is even sadder than a ricer who knows his wing doesn't do shit.
I don't get the point you're trying to explain here. I know GT wings have adjustable AoA, but they are still functionable throughout the angles. For canards and splitters...I don't get how you would adjust them properly after installing them. I would say most cars in the lower mainland aren't set up properly to match their aero. As in, driving around with a 61" GT wing on your trunk, but on cut springs and stock shocks.
