Originally posted by EtaSax View PostI just wonder what kind of effect that actually has on performance and if it affects downforce. I'd imagine that the iS spoiler does indeed reduce drag by lessening the effects of the low pressure pocket at the rear of the car, but does it affect downforce as well? Shouldn't downforce be clearly visible in these proposed pictures as flow of air in an upward path extending from the top of the bootlid or would it be very subtle? That is, of course, if the differences between spoilers are indeed visible at all.Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

i doubt it is that much of a difference. likely to have more spray difference due to tire tread/size, ride height, mudflaps, bumper design, etc than spoiler/no spoiler.

No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.
