I was looking at the manual that come with the car and I read that you should not drive the car with the spoiler not working. It says you can loose control of the car over 60. Is this some BS or what? I can't stop laughing about this. Has anyone lost control of there car due to this?

 

Chrysler penned that for pure liability purposes only.

I think the real threshold of concern to be spoiler-less is ~90.

I ran the car with the spoiler down and deactivated prior to the wing swap, and it definitely gets "twitchy" at 90 and beyond.

With spoiler up, it's stable to the 150 mark.

With the SRT spoiler on, it's PLANTED on the ground clean up to 150. Not a hint of wiggle.

At 60-70 you shouldn't have any issues w/o spoiler deployed. It's a design gimmick so all freeway motorists can watch your wing deploy as you merge onto the freeway, and the kids in the vans go "ooooooohhhhhhh" hahaha.

I don't think the wing TRULY starts to save your bacon until ~85+... otherwise known as illegal speeds.

Happy motoring!

 

I never knew this....so the wing does have a purpose...

 

Besides using it to make obscene, vaguely suggestive gestures to carloads of girls behind you at stop lights, it does provide downward force on the rear...just like spoilers are intended to do.

 

is there something naughty written under your wing? I didn't think those little dudes would make much of a difference...but guess they do....I guess my big ole' wing works too...

 

Is this going to be one of those "my wing is bigger than your wing" duels? Nothing written under the wing, but a waitress one time expressed her intrigue with the way it went up and down. Unfortunately she was way too young and I was way too married for that to go anywhere.

 

well, there you go....you know my wing won't go up and down....how young was she?......he hee heee....I know, I am a dirty ole' man....

 

My wing stays fully erect even on the coldest of days.

 

No comment!

 

now Bob, you know it just hangs there...flat out...

 

Does it go down prematurely?

 

Just like the crossfire spoiler.. not very long but wide. Slow to get up but it eventually does.

 

If stays up for more than 4 hours....consult your Doctor

 

Since our recent Snowpacolypse and extreme cold, my spoiler raises up as soon as I turn the car on.
My Roadster seems to get really excited about the cold.
