Spoiler question
What are spoilers good for in the real world, anyway, besides spoiling the looks of the car in most cases?*
*Disclaimer LXVII: This is an opinion. Your opinion may vary.
By the way, it's a serious question. Do they aid stability in some meaningful way? Do they keep the car from becoming airborne? Increase speed? What?

Check out any race series and you will see what a real spoiler looks like.

I remember Audi's TT having stablity problems at high speed on the autobahn when it wastn fitted with a rear deck spoiler. They can be useful, if the car is designed to reach such speeds, and the spoiler is actually designed to give the correct amount of downforce at those speeds.
In our case as is the case with most street vehicles, the spoiler is only for looks. Love it or hate it, I personally love it, if its tasteful, like the MazdaSpeed wing.
Oh, and perhaps some act as "counterbalance" to assist you in closing the trunk.
