Adding a spoiler to a VW Beetle. ("This spoiler alone made this otherwise stock car, stable at speeds in excess of 300 mph! Part of this is due to quality of materials. We were able to obtain cardboard that was used to ship parts for a NASCAR Winston Cup race car. Fast parts for a fast car came out of the box, so why wouldn't it help make this bug fast? And did it ever.")
