Just about everybody gave the answer that I expected. Use Ballast -

slammers, have these monster, exotic spoilers (almost wings) on the
rear deck lids. Why not leave the body alone and just add weight
without adding all that additional drag?

Well, it's an easy answer if you're a kid driving an import -- you
put on a spoiler, big shiny wheels with skinny rubber, and maybe some
projection headlights -- and you think your buddies will be impressed
and the girls will say "Yes" -- that's why the door slammers have big
wings.
