Altho this thread has been revived from a very long time ago....
The MR2 from the looks of it has a "spoiler" rather than "wing"
I was under the impression that at high speed this 'spoils' the air behind the car preventing suction occurring, this is what you see on the back of BMW's and the like, that very small lip on the boot. Its not just to push the rear down but make sure there is no suction being caused by the air behind the car (this only happens at very high speeds anyway).
But a wing, not seen on street cars generally is for down force to stick the ass down on the road.
Edit, just like to say, who finds it amusing when ricers in FWD cars have huge wings at the rear, forcing the rear down, the front up and making the car loose grip in the front.
