Spoiler…..does it make any real difference?

The retractable spoiler is a unique feature of the Porsche cars, and looks really cool. The Turbo/GTS spoiler is especially nice looking. However, can a relatively small surface area spoiler make any difference to the drive of a 4000 pound car?

And why does a VW Beetle need one, except to look cool?

With the amount of R&D to develop it is not just there for the hell of it.
