    That’s not a spoiler, it’s a wing.

    Oh, I see – or rather I don’t. There’s a photo of a spoiler ? (I assumed the mods had changed a whole post and title, so apologies to slim)

    Google F1 spoiler, and ‘SOH’

    I’m with Cougar. Spoilers are intended to disrupt airflow to reduce drag, wings are intended to produce downforce at the expense of drag.

    IT’s A JOKE!

    besides: http://www.audi.co.uk/new-cars/tt/tt-coupe/exterior-style-features/automatic-rear-spoiler.html

    AUDI spoilers amongst others are to increase downforce at high speed.

    why am I even arguing the toss?..

    Please see above comment regarding SOH. I feel mine draining away.

    I think the problem here is the lack of originality in the humour, it’s not the first time that this joke has been done.
    I think the best you can hope for is that this thread quietly slips of the front page and into obscurity.
    I’d hate to see it turn into another headset thread.

    I think you’ve offended people here slimjim. Best thing to do is apologise and maybe keep a low profile for a month or two.

    ok, i’m sorry everyone.

    in future I will make sure to spend all my time reading every thread to ensure I don’t repeat a joke.

    don – I thought you were with me after your first post? I thought you were my wingman. A band of brothers.

    In the Audi case – they had to introduce a spoiler to the original TT because the smooth rounded bootlid generated lift at higher speeds, so the spoiler distrupted the flow of air off the back of the car.

    Same thing with the new shape TT. it still has that rounded back (it has a sharper edge to it) so the spoiler will do something, not a lot. but it isnt a wing in the same sense that the first picture is a wing.

    ecause the smooth rounded bootlid generated lift at higher speeds

    several dead Germans and Swiss will testify to that

    slimjim78, I am with you, I do think we need more threads like this.
