MPH differences with Spoiler?
Has anyone seen a differnce in MPH at the track with or without the rear Spoiler?
I have the 98 GT Spoiler on the stang now and thinking about putting the Saleen S281 Rear Spoiler in place of my old one...
There are some that say that I will lose 2 -3 Mph...
Myth or fact?

It's fact, I know a lot of people that pull there wings off for just the track. I pulled a 14.5 my very first time at the track w/ a 5 speed. My friends who have driven manuals for years I beat my first time out. And I blame it on my car not coming with a wing. But hey, people are gonna believe what they think. So, if it's easy to remove, get the wing you want and just take it off for the track

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??
