Can the mph that raises the rear spoiler be changed?

They create drag, they press the car to the ground which takes more power to move the car.

Yes and no.

An ideal spoiler should generate downforce. At the same time it should reduce the drag coefficient by optimizing the airstream. So if it is designed well it should not make the car slower but generate downforce.

Other aspects: front and a rear axle have in general different down- and upforces. So you have to optimize the whole body system aerodynamicly.

But if you can drive only 55, i think there is no need for big aerodynamic experiments.

Wow I can tell you ain't been to Kansas(just east of Kansas City) I70 interstate; one of the loneliest, flattest and straightest pieces of pavement in the world. As for the autobahn, enjoy the small 'unlimited' stretch while you can- I hear it's getting crowded...

Where is this stretch of highway? I live in KC, but I don't think I've been on that part of I-70. Now I want too find it. What about police on this stretch?

Head to Denver. At night. What I said is relative to the roads everywhere else in North America. I90 through Nebraska, North Dakota is similar. Saskatchewan is even better. I40 is loaded with cops- Arizona, New Mexico-they need the revenue, I've even seen false construction areas there.

Ah, so this is on the west side of Kansas?
