RE: MPH differences with Spoiler?

I thought wings were designed to increase downforce on a car? Maybe one like a roush would because its bigger?

the bestthing you can do is EMPTY your car completely inside as much as you can, like no spare tire, jack etc...

well i heard a rumor from the ricers that if you add a 5 inch wing that looks gawdy as hell then you will add 15 hp. but that is from the 4 cyl side of the world. inactuality how do you know that a wing will change 2-3 mph?? maybe the 2-3 mps is the driver. who can judge 2-3 mph??

exactly what i was thinking when reading this thread

I dont know that it would. Thats why i am posting to get everyones thoughts..............

I told some people that I was going to change out my stock GT spoiler for a S281 Spoiler.........

Thats where some said that I would lose 2-3 MPH. I found that hard to believe. I am a GM guy and the only time anyone ever took a spoiler off, lets say a Trans Am it was for weight reduction. Since this is my first mustang I thought I would put it out there to see everyone's thoughts...........
