When I saw this I laughed. This guy claims that the spoiler, which weighs
around 10 lbs less than stock by his own admission will shave seconds off
your 0-60 time. Why does he claim that? Does he think better downforce on
the rear is going to help acceleration in a FWD car? Does he think that
even comes into play at low speeds? I guess if I yanked my interior(at
least 20 lbs of stuff), I should be able to beat a Ferarri by this guys
calculations.
  As dubious as his performance claims are, I'd still be interested in
seeing what it looks like.
