They don't have to know about the motorsports look to know if they like what they see or not. Its all opinion...

Ok, race spec spoilers have their place in exactly as the name indicates, racing. I don't even see high raise spoilers on the grand am FR300 GT mustangs. Only the FR500 cobra that races in the FIA GT3 series over in europe thats putting down close to 600hp needs the down force, as do the rest of the cars in that series.
Ducktail spoilers, etc, that give the car elegent smooth lines are more indignant of what the S197 and it's retro styling are all about. If you want to make a track car, go right ahead build it for maximum down force and grip where the raised spoiler would be appropriate. But on the street it just looks rediculous from a style point of view, and thats not an opinion thats common sense.
This is allowed to have a raised spoiler and not be rice.

Well said! [sm=smiley32.gif]
A raised spoiler may have its origins in motorsports but the fact is that ricers often put them on their cars for no real purpose but to look gaudy so that's why we associate them with ricers. I often see little imports with no body kit whatsoever and all they have is a huge spoiler in the back. WTF??? Hahaha
