Ok, some observartions so far:
1) I dropped nearly two seconds off my laptimes, from 1:41.5 to 1:39.6 ... but to be completely honest, most of that came from finding a big-*** boost leak
2) The wing kills lift / creates downforce enough to notice even at 100km/h or 60mps... the back end feels very steady when driving too fast on country roads... which of course I didn't do on the way back from the track...
3) A stretch of highway was moist from earlier rainfall - and the car sure throws the mist WAY higher up than it used to. Kind of funny watching it through the rear view mirror..

If it actually works I'll have to reconcider. I think it's a bit over the top, though. I wanted to update the hatch-spoiler to the more modern bridge spoiler. Now I'm not sure.....

Man, I'm glad I joined this forum! Now I gotta find that perfect 951.
Still have not sold my lexus, but I am going to miss the power of that car!

So things that are not functional are rice? Like my momo "porsche" horn button on my wheel? My 968 handles? White gauge dials? Turbo script decal on the fender?
