Thanks Charlie,

Here in the US wingless cars are quite rare considering most of them are 
Amerisports. From your observations, they are more common overseas. I 
guess it must be that wings were the thing to have in the US in the 80s. 
Probably some kind of perception that winged cars have to be faster. Do 
you have any idea how many GT5-S cars were produced?
