trism Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 ^^^ exactly.... you know, i think i know where it come from. the "stealth" wing as you call it resembles the stereo typical ducks tail. how it bobs up at the end. hence D-tail or D-Wing. they were common on old style muscle cars ie early corvettes, old mustangs, etc. so all the ricers these days see "D-wing" and because anything these days that has a capitial D means drift (initial D, D1, etc etc) they see it as drift wing. there, thats how Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/198636-drift-wing-or-not/page/3/#findComment-3547888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Well everything was invented in Japan so actually to be correct it is called a chibi hane http://search1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/sea...ccat=2084197400 Chibi of course means small, and hane means wing... So the correct name for it is "small wing"... LOL Unless you think everything was invented in Germany where the wing on the 911 is called a bürzel which means ducktail. The fact things are called Drift-XXXX is purely marketing, just as previously everything used to be called Drag-XXXX, pretty soon everything will be called GT-XXXX and after that something else will come along.

PSI Parts Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 As far as I'm aware all the different names "drift wing" "stealth wing" etc., were started by bodykit retailers here in Australia to sell the wing and make themselves different from what every other retailer was calling it. I believe Signal Auto in Japan were the first ones to make the wing, and therefore whatever they have chosen to call it should be correct.

trism Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i shall commence with examples 1. ford GT40. first year of production, 1963 2. Chev Camaro. production date late 60s 3. Pontiac GTO production in late 60s early 70s 4. Ferrari 330 testa rossa. production 1962 now, i think youll agree that all of these predate the current obsession with "drift" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/198636-drift-wing-or-not/page/3/#findComment-3556163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
