I didn't care much for the comment on the wing, but tyhat's your opinion. I was always a fan of the Australian SuperTourer Championship and the British Touring Car Championship, so I tried to mimic the look with the DTM spoiler. I am not disillusioned as to it's effectiveness, I know it doesn't given me insane downforce or anything like that, although it does seem to make the car less squirrely at 100+ mph speeds.
Moving on...L8 Apex (late apex) is the name I made up to sell my various Contour mods and such under and it refers back to a cornering technique used in road racing.
Late apex turning is a technique the entails driving past the normal turn-in point then making a harder or sharper turn than normal and at a slower speed. This makes hitting the late apex very easy and requires that you "track-out" only 1/2 the width of the track.
PS I know from other posts of yours that you are more into drag racing, so I appreciate you possible lack of knowledge of the ASTC and BTCC, and therefore can understand why you are quick to dismiss the wing on my car.
It's all good..... 
Sorry dude, my statment was kinda rude. Just kinda have a sore spot for those things cause I prefer the stock trunk...BTCC & ASTC is cool...but with all the rice out there I jumped to conclusions. My bad...statement retracted. That wasn't cool on my part. Rock on!
Oh, and not to take over your pic post, but just one more question...I thought that the best way to take a turn was start on the outside, then trail brake/decelrate to get the weight up front, apex early, and then drive out hard on the gas...so as to keep average speed as high as possible. Wouldn't late apexing slow you down? The only guys I have really noticed doing this are rally guys who late apex to initiate drift???
Like I said, I'm clueless.
