You guys are completely missing it. The idea of the trunk being able to lean one way or the other is to help with the lateral drag coefficient of the installed wing in heavy cornering applications. Conversely, you could therefore use it to counter-drop the opposite direction when tracking the car for additional grip on off-camber inverse turns. Think of terms of the new jet fighters where the exhaust can be angled to affect turns, cornering, climb and so forth. With this mod on your car, given you have a wing big enough to lift the rear off the ground, those who drfit or track thier cars would have a huge advantage, especially ones with front wheel drive. Or imagine if you wanted to drive in reverse, think in terms of canards on some planes, the cornering ability again backing up would be incredible. The advantages of this mod are so great this thread really needs to be stickied. In fact I think I'm going to come up with a new wing design to attach to my hatch and hook up some hydraulics to it so I can raise and lower the hatch with the wing attached to give my car some *bling* and dorifto drag road course advantages. I may need to come up with a speed brake like fighter jets use also, could use the sunroof area for that...

Hey, that's so cool! Now you have like 1/10 the trunk opening! Mega-sweet! Someone problem got rear-ended, decided it looked cool, and marketed it as a product.
