Bring back the FXO's wing
I downloaded S1H a little while ago for fun, and the FXO had a wing/spoiler. I think that the FXO should get its spoiler back. It isn't very fair that the XRT and RB4 have a wing and the FXO doesnt. Because, if the FXO got its spoiler back then the drag would be increased, evening out the class. Just a thought.

Just because it gets its wing back shouldn't be the deciding factor to making it balanced or slower. The wing was ridiculous anyways, and I actually prefer the small sporty wing instead, since it is way more believable. That old FXO wing was enormous, too high, and just looked like a car you'd see on those silly import junk car pages people joke about.

The issue with the FXO and XFG is that the FWD phsyics are a bit strange with people using high front ARB and locked diff. It is way too strong in the corners and can carry a lot of speed as oppossed to what should be faster... RWD.
What he said^

Besides, if you want big wings there's always a GTR handy
#4 - Davo
Looks good as it is. Less rice the better.
i like it now too; but i did however like it with the tall spoiler, but now it fits in more with the class its in looks wise.. owell
Now it actually looks like a production car, which is much better. So, -1 from me.
It's not like the wing had any effect on performance anyway.
#7 - S0ul
I also dont think it would even anything out...ive never seen the spoile,does someone have a pic?
#8 - Jakg

The FXO has a small spoiler, just like the XRT and RB4. I think the old S1 model should be re-vamped, made to look a little more like a touring car, and be brought back with slick tires as an ETCC-esque touring car.
What do you say? FXO is much faster than XRT or RB4 and you want to make in even more fast using that wing? No mate, I would keep it as it is know.

And just BTW, IIRC those "wings" on XRT and RB4 doesnt add any valuable(if any) amount of downforce.
Yes, the spoilers on the road cars are purely visual. Body lift is not modelled in any way in LFS. And spoilers is what they should be, no wings on the road cars, thanks.
-1. I like FXO as is now. FXO with rear wing belong to past (S1).

Yes, FXT and RBT
Screenshot?
+1. With slicks. And more power. And less weight. Now do the same to the XRT and RB4 and we have 5 small GTRs :P
I'd love to see a pic too, I'm too laizy to go download S1 and unlock it just to see some car's spoiler.

you are one lazy human unit... here ya go:
Thanks, I searched the net a bit, but when I saw the pics I thought it was a GTR... I think that answers what all you guys were saying too Ugly spoiler back then. I do like the tracks a bit more

P.S. Yes... yes, I am...
with the spoiler back it would look just like a GTR
I think it makes it look like an import, good or bad it looks like an import car, too ricey for my personal prefecerence though

IMO They should be RBT, FXT and XRO. An seperate from UXFR.
-1, it wold look too much like the FXR. In fact, i would like to see a turbo without the spoiler.
Hell, just make the damn thing slower than the XRT (like it should be) and you can glue aircraft wings on it if you like
Quote from Hankstar :Hell, just make the damn thing slower than the XRT (like it should be)

I have been asking for this since S1... but still is the damn fwd faster... easiest car to drive and its the fastest of the three... that is just not fair...

Edit> link to the first time (24-01-2004) and second time (31-03-2006) I mentioned this...
