official Porsche stance on raising the spoiler
#31
If you park the car with the spoiler raised it will cool the car faster. Driving at low speeds with the spoiler raised will cool the engine as well. I raise it before I park the car in the garage in the summer.
Otherwise on the highway you should let it do it's thing.

odd
If I am at a Cars And Coffee, I deploy it because it seems like everybody else does it.
If I am driving, I let it deploy as designed by the engineers. I have to say that I really like watching it deploy in my Sideview mirror. I have noticed it goes way higher when my top is down and I’m going over 80 miles an hour.

I would like to point out that German Auto manufacturers for quite a long time, denied the cupholder and the need for AC, the example of the E24 AC system is an example, for that car they ended up putting an ice chest on the back seat on the later cars.. which was a blight on humanity IMO..
I am however in their corner when it comes to "The burnout" the idea of heaping abuse on tires,transmission, rear end, engine, all to ruin a set of tires seems a little odd to me...

raised spoiler provides cooling when car is driving - in standstill I doubt it does all that much. Also, what is the benefit of having it cool down faster in your garage (if it actually does it anyway). Not like you are on a race pit stop and want to leave in a hurry again with cooled down engine.
I find it help. Put your hand above the open wing after a good drive.

The only benefit of cooling down the car before closing the garage door is that I don't have a scorching hot garage. The 992 generates so much heat and my garage is not air-conditioned. It gets boiling. I am talking 40C+.

This. While I am driving, I cannot see mine deployed. When I first got the car I was curious about it so I used the button while the car was parked so I could see it. Periodically, when on the highway and about to approach slow traffic, I will use the PCM to navigate to settings so I can see the little spoiler icon go from being deployed to stored. I’m still in the honeymoon period so maybe at some point I will stop getting a kick out of these small things that remind me of a few things I like about the car and the engineering behind it.

Ok I admit it, I did like to raise the spoiler frequently, so I went to a therapist and he said I was over compensating, I tried to be good, I really did, but I couldn’t find happiness with the tail down - so then I turned to Rennlist and saw others living their authentic life and I said why can’t I find happiness too! And that how I ended up with a Lava GT3 RS and we lived happily ever after

Mine goes up in wet mode regardless of speed….so Porsche designed it that way, but we aren’t supposed to go into wet mode when in the city and the car is beeping telling us to go into wet mode….??

When I see this I always let the driver know their wing might be broken as its up when parked or at a slow speed...Wing up high speeds sure..Ill never click the button to raise it..not once...so dumb
