Rear Spoiler

[crouse]

I run a lot of Auto Cross events with my Marauder and I'm looking for a rear spoiler. Does anyone know if this rear spoiler offers any down force?

Thats a replica of the OEM spoiler. They are for looks only and I doubt would make any sort of measurable amount of down force.

Hmmmm. Just might be able to make that work.

Does the rear ever lift when you're racing?

[ghost261]

I'm no mathematician but I really doubt a spoiler is going to do you any good in a MM. It definitely works but you really gotta be going at some high speeds to get that drag going. Just my opinion though.

New In Box OEM are rare and thus a little expensive... I bought two 10 years ago and they were expensive then...

My personal preference is for the extremely low production Roush spoiler, but I doubt you'll ever find one of those for sale now.

I thought those were beautiful spoilers, I just didn't think they matched the car as well.

No down force unless you're autocrossing at well over 100 mph.

Sure wish I could find another one. I sold one once upon a time and regret it. Never would have thought I'd have 4 Marauders and only 3 Roush spoilers.

I personally never was a fan of ANY of the spoilers...but that's just me...

Slicks, tall gears and a killer suspension are what's going to hustle a 2-ton brick around an auto cross track.

You want down force in the rear? Just throw half a dozen dead bodies in the trunk...there's room for 'em!

My apologies... I had previously seen a different raised (Toyota like) rear spoiler and conflated and confused it with the above. That spoiler looks great!
