At high speeds, they do provide tons of downforce. Though with technology we have eliminated the NEED for them with good design. Like Ferraris loosing their high wings.
On the SC 300/400 they lowered the drag.

Yeah.

I know the G35 comes with an aero package that - even w/out the spoiler - yields zero lift.

Isn't a stock LS430 built with the same capability?

Not 0 lift but that big car has the lowest drag this side of an electric car. .25. I think the G35 sedan with the aero kit is a .25.

Aznteazer, missed it.
