The only thing that worries me is Franc driving 90 MPH, volunteering to be a test driver to see what happens when you drive without the spoiler being deployed. Who do you think you are Franc, Chuck Freaking Yeager ? No wonder your wife is balking at your getting a SRT6 .
Cathy likes it at 120 MPH.

Truth is the car is rock solid the faster you go. Without the spoiler it was just loose, like most any car. My 82 TA had a "spoiler" but it was more for looks than function. At 130 MPH the louvres would rattle and the rear was floaty. Spoiler was ineffective.

If it was just weight, I guess you could put 80 Lbs in the back, but I'm not going to test it.
