Don't mess with it. Porsche knows what they're doing... and you may not realize it until you've messed with it at 75+ speeds.


I beg to differ. Porsche doesn't seem to employ random gimmicks (especially for appearance's sake). Also, take it up to 100+mph and let me know how it goes.
I've had it well over 100 mph and have put the spoiler up and down manually. I can "feel" no difference in basic handling. A stop watch on track may tell me otherwise. I would also think it will make more difference on a Cayman as they have much cleaner air-flow to the spoiler.
