I’m sorry, I don’t understand what this has to do with my statement. I was stating that the Aerokit spoiler is not an “appearance” package but does provide actual aero benefits.

This isn't exactly accurate. Porsche claims it reduces lift, and if you think that wing on the back (very similar to the 991 GT3 wing) isn't functional, then I don't know what to tell you.

“The new Aerokit has been engineered at Porsche’s development centre in Weissach where experts spent months optimizing the design and function. Prototypes were carefully honed in Porsche’s wind tunnel to ensure that the Aerokit fully delivers on its striking visual promise of reducing the uplift forces over both front and rear axle.”
And again, why is whether I’ve owned a GT3 or not relevant?

From basic aerodynamics it’s clear the 911 will produce lift based on the cross section, just like a cambered airfoil.

”911 Turbo adaptive aerodynamics at 300 km/h was increased by 17 kg to 26 kg in the Speed setting, and by 18 kg to 150 kg in the Performance setting.”

I said Porsche claims it reduces lift. Which is true. See the link below.

I have nothing constructive to add to this discussion, but it reminded me of this photo.
I was kicked off the GT3RS Facebook page for posting this. Apparently I violated their delicate sensibilities...those guys have no sense of humor

I think what you're obviously getting here is some attitude that it is poseur-ish to put a GT3 wing on a non-GT3. You should do whatever you like. If you're adding rear wing, you need more front downforce too. And of course, be prepared for lots of eye-rolling and snarky comments at Cars n Coffee.

Despite the helpful and awesome concept posted by PMAA
As the original poster.... I solved this question by putting a deposit on a GT3.

By adding a couple hinges plus a chain and pulley to PMAA's concept, I could haz DRS instead of that boring fixed wing crap on my GT3. I mean, yeah, I'd have to hang my hand out the window to activate DRS. But I like doing stuff for myself. Is why I got a manual.

Correct. You get the Aerokit if you want the wing look. But the GT3 wing is the real deal and will mess up your aerodynamic balance at speed.
