I disagree. More and more cars are coming out with deployable spoilers at high speeds. Do a search for the Mercedes SLR, for example.

I also notice it seems to help more during the rain, when your doing under 65, if its raining hard, putting up the spoiler seems to give you more control.

Also I think the true reason for the spoiler is not stability over 65 mph, but stability when your braking. If you have to brake hard, the car pitches forward, and the back comes up. Picture a guy on a sports bike doing an endo if you know what that is.

If your doing 80 and and everyone in front of you brakes, and you slam on it.. the rear end can become significantly lighter, leading to significant oversteer. Imagine doing 100 in it.. When your driving in a straight line or braking, oversteer is the last thing you want. If your braking on a curve, it gets even worse since your front wheels will already be turning the car a bit, I bet that rear end can snap out easily and spin you out of control..

So to sum it all up, I'd say disconnect it at your own risk, but at least be aware of the risk. And just remember... if you think its ugly.. remember... most of the time it's down.. most of the time your cruising around town or down the strip.. its down... Its when your doing 65 and above, does it really matter if the driver next to you doesn't like your spoiler? Who the hell cares? At least it makes you safe. And I think it's one of the coolest features of the car, why on earth would you ever get rid of it?

Oh yeah and it's NOT ricey. I have not seen one ricer with a deployable spoiler!! lol.. The only cars with deployable spoilers are Porsches, and other new high end cars like the Mercedes Mclaren SLR.. Why would you make your Crossfire leave such an exclusive club?
