Wait, so I was seriously thinking about getting one of those. I mean think about all the times my car is going 140 mph and my spoiler in it's *fixed* position can't improve its performance. Right after I pound my 4th shot of Nos I can throw my spoiler up. Normally the people in my backseat don't like it when my car lands from taking sweet jumps. Of course the jumping happens in slow motion with Black Betty by Spiderbait playing in the background. Damn those slow motion jumps. Honestly though, someone had to pitch this idea to some corporation. To successfully pitch a product you have to be excited about it, which means the number of excited people looking into this product equals roughly the amount of Honda tuners + original salesperson. I'll be damned.

Put that bench on your 8. Then, post pics and ask what people think. I'm sure they will all be impressed with your taste.

a motorized spoiler could be usefull for braking, not one like this that adjusts hight, but one that adjusts the angle of the wing/spoiler so that when the brake is applied the angle of the spoiler is adjusted to cause more drag, I believe the million dollar bughatti veyeron has this ability, but at what speeds would it be affective, the bughatti uses it to slow down from 250

Chapparal use that type of device that changed the angle of attack to win the CanAm back in the 60's. I believe the model was the Chapparal 2G. The rules were changed after that season to allow only fixed wings because of the advantage they had. Also the safety hazard if any of the linkages broke.
