Active spoiler on an 86

Just thought I'd post this, I had never seen this spoiler before. Not sure it does much but it sure is impressive:

The mechanical creaking/groaning upon open and close really ties everything together.

Idk,it looks kinda weird. I would've been more impressed if it popped up like a Veyron's spoiler.

Extensive wind tunnel testing and airflow dynamic studies have determined it is most effective and provides the greatest amount of downforce when hard parked at the boba shop.

I think you’re talking about the ez30r swapped 86, in which case this doesn’t seem to be it.

They do sound good and performance is to be had with them, especially since they did make a turbo version. I'm mostly just poking fun.
