Default Re: spoiler - form follows function?
I think the downforce is not needed at 60-65 mph when it deploys. But the wing needs some time to come up. At full acceleration, it starts to deploy and is ready at high speed where it's needed. That may be the reason why the warning beep comes later.
Driving straight roads is probably no problem. Autobahn with no speed limit still have curves. And I don't want to risk any loss of traction at 140 mph!

The difference between the regular wing and the SRT bar is just to silhouette the SRT against the regular. There's no big difference in vmax ... +5km/h can not be the cause for that ironing board.
