as far as I under stand it, because I don't think any one had said it. The raked stance is better.

this is because with the nose down it doesn't allow for much air to flow under the body. This is often easy to understand, but the reason behind the higher, than front, rear end is so that little bit of air will enter will now be exposed to a larger volume, under the car. This larger volume is a decrease in pressure, thus a down force at the rear of the car is created.

The problem here is that the slope of the rear of the car is already shaped like a wing and the air is flowing very fast over the rear of the car, as compared to the underside, which creates lift. So I don't know if this will help alot.

But adding a wing and the raked stance should help.
