You beat me to it.

However the 996 GT3 is neutral at rear, while the 996 GT3 RS is downforce not uplift. So my guess is that the wing is there for downforce, not uplift.

On the bimmer uplift wouldn't be good, but neither downforce on those unsuited Continental tyres.

Cheers.
The wing will adversely affect handling and stability becasue it was not designed to work with the aero package of that car. Even putting that wing on a 996 you have to change the front spoiler to match the rear spoiler/wing, otherwise the aerodynamics are all wrong.

BTW, I saw a Mitsubishi Evo wing I think would look great on my Gallardo, I think I can make it fit

Re: This is horrible, M6 with a Porsche wing

Did you notice that he also changed the exhaust pipes?

Terrible look, but he also suffered all the negative comments at M5board

I blame his friends (if he has any) for not beating the piss out of him when he mentioned his plans for his M6...

Not this American! I'd hate to see what Porsche would do with 12 cylinders.
