do the runs without the wing...
and you'll go faster.
Unless you had an aerodynamicist design the wing, I'll bet you it creates WAY more drag than downforce.
We played with some wings on the Civic for kicks and at 125mph, they created enough drag to knock 8mph off the speed. Terminal speed on the straight rose to 133mph when we took them off and it didn't do jack for handling.
Not sure why you'd want rear downforce on a FWD car anyway but do a run with it unbolted and you're almost guaranteed to go faster.

they just ran a 12.79 @ 110 in an STI...
on supertuner TV.
unfortunately their average worked out to just over 13 seconds, which is what will go in the magazine.
and i'm sure it's not official since it wasn't a competition.
