Does anyone have pictures of a Talon with BOTH 2Ga and 2Gb wings, it seems to me I have seen one on this sight before, but am unable to locate it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much, I just love the look of the double spoiler, maybe because I've owned 2 Merkur's. It gives me some ideas for my Talon now, much appreciated.

I hear ya there, reminds me of sierra Cosworths and overseas escorts. (merkur in the us.)

that wing is stupid :notgood:

Ugly to some...yes, most likely, stupid? well, maybe to some as well. But consider this, the Merkur XR4Ti with its dual wing was able to have a very similar drag to that of a Corvette of similar years, which was quite a achievement for back then especially when you consider the rest of the car. The dual wing on the back of Twisted Talons car IS extremely similar in appearance. It makes one wonder if it has a similar benefit in drag charachteristics? In the end, it is totally personal preference. The execution of the design will make a great difference on whether or not people find it attractive.
 
Wings/spoilers on cars are for downforce, not drag. With both those wings, at high speeds by the time the upper spoiler does it's work, I doubt the lower spoiler will get any air to create additional downforce. I say dual wings will probably be just for looks.

most people dont drive at high enough speeds to notice the difference...the 2Gb talon wing, i like it, but on top of a 2Ga. just plain ugly....but it is a show car, and they are all ugly :talon:

now all the guy needs is the non-turbo and turbo wing from the eclipses and he'll have the ultimate in rice

If you look at both of which you refer, it is obvious that they are of a totally different design. Although if you notice the 2Ga and 2Gb wings are very similar in design when you compare the angles and are also very similar in looks when you compare it to say.... A Merkur wing, which happens to be EUROPEAN and NOT RICE. Don't get me wrong, I know and understand that there will be people that don't like the looks. But thats like me insulting your choice in a spouse. In the end, its your opinion, as it is mine.
 
Well then how bout this little fact: Damn near everyone in the world eats rice. Also if your so serious about everyone having an opinion and how it's alright, then don't talk about mine please. I didn't come in here and bash yours.

Im just saying that it is all about looks because everyone uses rice as a term for people who put things on just cuse they like how it looks. And if that offended you so much that you had to get all defensive, then im sorry for your misunderstanding.
