there was a thread a while back discussing the gts wing on our cars. the general consensus was they are useless as an airfoil, but are commonly used at a high angle that they work as a spoiler. any wing that short and at that high of an angle would be stalled anyways.
couple quick points;
-you can run a very large wing at a lower angle to create more downforce with less drag than a smaller wing with more angle.
-while a lower wing isn't useless, roofline height is ideal.
-gurney flaps can augment a smaller wing by creating a longer separation of airflow, but the trade off is more drag. gurney flaps are more common to see on wing dimensions that are limited by class.
