You might gain a little speed, but you'd be sacrificing your safety. Our cars make dandly little airplane wings at these speeds, creating lift. The car needs the downforce on the rear end created by the spoiler to keep the lift in check and the back end firmly on the pavement.
BTW, I took my 97 2.5 boxster out this last Sunday morning quite early and pushed it up to 112 on highway 290 inside the beltway here in Houston. V1 was on and I was watching for cops, who like to nail speeders at that time of the day.
