Tail up or down
#16
And turbo wheels are the only wheels that porsche offers that are forged, plus they're right there on the option sheet, buddy.
Nothing wrong with changing the spoiler or any other mod for that fact.
But yeah, I would call someone who always drives around with their stock spoiler up a poser. But that's just me.

Hey just want to clarify by no means did I think the comment had any ethnic connotation or was being implied, I was just giving my opinion, sorry for bringing PC into play. You've got tonnes of posts and experience on this forum and I hope to get to the level of 'rep power' you have at somepoint. Let's stick to the task at hand......
spoiler up or down?

i think its much cooler that the wing goes up/down than it is to see a wing up when going slow..
the fact our wings change depending on need is far cooler than any ricer wing thats always up.

When I first got my 911 I thought it was awesome to be able to manually raise it since in my other car I can't. I realized I didn't like how the car looked without a spoiler and bought one.
A couple weeks ago I was at the track for a vintage race series. A guy was driving around with his spoiler up in the parking lot, and he had the I'm way too cool for school act going on. At that moment I was so glad I don't do that and got a wing.
In short if your driving with it up, you're only amusing yourself which is fine, but it's really not cool, just the opposite.
Did I mention his girlfriend was ugly too? lol

Not saying that was the case... but at the track, if he was coming from a session that might be OK and the engine might be cooling, which may be more efficient with the spoiler up. What is not cool is to raise it gratuitously on the street and that seems to be the consensus of the replies to this thread.

You can do whatever you please, but others will judge you accordingly. Your choice.

That button is there to raise the spoiler to do maintenance and to dry it when you wash your car. It's there also to use on the track to avoid the constant up/down motions. Any other uses...

Hey, maybe I will start a new trend! lol

Have been driving with it on auto. Then I've started thinking I'd really like a small wing, almost similar to the Sport Classic ducktail. Then I realize I already have a modest wing built in, although I never get to see it up. So I've left it up sometimes.
Interesting note. Cruising around at 30-40 mph, I think there is more intake noise with the spoiler up. No need for the intake - more sound with the spoiler up. Hmmm.

One can't say that my ride looks weak w/ the tail up in the avatar, I think it looks more muscular!

I've been pricing out the rear wings. About $3000 before paint and prep. I'm thinking having the wing up is starting to look cooler.

Agreed, take a pic of your tail up and post it! It will definitely accentuate your kit and rims.
