A little downforce?
Reading a new article concerning the 08' SS, I ran across this neat piece of information.

at 70 mph, it generates 23 pounds of downforce. At 120 mph, that rises to 68.7 pounds, and at the top speed of 155 mph the number is 115 pounds. Lose the wing, though, and top speed rises to a drag-limited 160 mph. Everything has its trade-offs.
So there, our wing DOES increase downforce and drag.
