If my Viper GTS would have came with the additional "elevated" spoiler that the GTS-R came with, in all honesty, I don't think I would have bought it. But then that's just me.
We've all been so focused on the "down force" issue that I don't believe I've read anything about the actual "spoiler" effect, until Pelked1 mentioned it in his first post. Frankly, I've always thought the pop-up spoiler was more of a gimmick than anything else. But I now think Pelked1 "hit it square on the nose". The roof design of the Crossfire coupe is very conducive to lift, and disrupting the airflow by the use of a spoiler would keep the car far more stable at speed than simply the addition of massive amounts of down force.
Very nice call Pelked1. But now what are we going to argue about?
This fact regarding the spoiler is in the Crossfire sales brochure.
