Would this be the outcome of an event like this in real life?

You can see this in real life, people remove the rear wings from Evos and WRXs and they drive just fine on motorway speeds. Initial D tries to ground a lot of things in reality but like with any movie/anime, they tend to exaggerate a bit.
