Wanna986, I do not have concrete "numbers" on the requirement for my car's spoiler. However, my owners manual states that it comes up at 75 miles an hour to provide stability when driving the car at this speed or faster. Moreover, it states that if it malfunctions, I should drive the car at reduced speeds to my dealer immediately to have it repaired.

This could very well be CYA on Porsche's part, but I don't think so personally.

Common sense tells me that they would probably not go to the trouble of engineering it for the car and making it a standard option if it did not matter and was there for looks... which aren't all that great if you ask me.

I can't think of any sound reason I would want to disable mine to find out if it really is needed or not... that's truly throwing caution to the wind in every sense of the phrase.
