Exactly my thought as well. By applying downforce to the rear end, isn't the wing adding traction to the tires that aren't driving the car and therefore reducing the car's ability to accelerate?
I doubt those cars will do anything other that go in a straight line, but if you ever wanted to turn, especially in a FWD car with heavy front weight bias, it's nice to have the rear as planted as possible. Then again you can probably get as much traction in the rear with just suspension.

Ironically I believe the original Indian swastika symbolizes peace.

It is much more then a Indian symbol. It has been used all over the world for thousands of years. There are cave paintings in Europe with Swastikas. Hindu idols in India, Buddhist temples in China, Christian churches in Europe, Jewish temples in Israel, Greek Coins, Roman pottery, Gaelic pottery, Scandinavian swords, Eygypt, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and the list goes on and on. It was a universal symbol. It had different meanings in different cultures, but always benevolent.

Actually Quake III Arena. I have not played in a long long time but thought it might be a nice random pic.

Thus proving that money and taste are mutually exclusive.
