Actually, despite being front heavy, most fwd cars will still tend lose traction at the front wheels first and push through corners, so actually adding a rear wing hurts handling even more. That is provided you can get a little import tuner up to high enough speeds to take advantage of downforce. Not likely. Silly imports.
