I thought Chris Persons was talking about off-the-line traction. At any
rate, I'd be surprised if (unless massive) a spoiler would have any
appreciable effect at normal highway speeds. I seem to recall this precise
debate when Dodge in the early seventies released the Daytona Charger with
the tall, narrow rear spoiler, and the consensus then (again if I recall
correctly) was that the benefits of such a small surface area device would
be insubstantial at anything but superspeedway speeds.

But isn't that why the Daytona had the outcrops on the front fenders? The car
had so much downforce applied that they needed to make room for the tires so
they wouldn't hit the inside of the fenderwell.
