how about the aerodynamics of an aerobird?

well my car is stock so it goes through the air like it was supposed to.  what have some of you guys done to effect the aerodynamics?  i know some have put the mach 1 chin spoiler.  i havnt really seen a functional wing on a cougarbird.  all i know is i can slice through the dirty air from a tractor trailer, and just the other day i was almost sucked into the front of a house b/c it was on a trailor goin about 65mph and i passed at 75 (in a 70 zone).  have any of you that have lowered the car seen big differences?

The wing on my yellow cat is actualy functional, but then, it may be a bit much for some as well, but it IS functional. I did not buy it for function in particular, but, I like that it is none the less. Rain water hits my rear window from under the wing at around 60+. Kinda neat, but makes a big mess as well. I need to make a video of it one day just for kicks. :D I have not noticed a huge difference in the aerodynamics of the car though. I think are cars have good aerodynamics to begin with.

Lowering has to help some, just not sure how much, or how low you want to go.
