The spoiler just cracks me up - I wonder if it improves the gas mileage at all?

I dont think anyone has ever made a spoiler that improved gas mileage. They all create aerodynamic drag, some even produce downforce. Drag would reduce fuel economy. In the Brock Yates book about the real Cannonball Run races he mentions that putting the spoiler on the van he used in the race reduced both fuel economy, and top speed.

Having a body kit (especially a rear spoiler ) to help down force on a 90 hp Vanagon is just Rolling Eyes . It sure looks Great though!!!

Having a different engine with real power installed would finish it up.

I'd drive it any day.. Laughing

I like the stance and the wheels look "cool". Not feeling the body kit, looks like Miami Vice is going to pull up and bust him for dealing coke or something. Laughing

Honestly, the stock Carrat body lowered on Audi wheels with a turbo motor makes me drool. Cool
