      No, these spoilers increase hp. They produce a hydrofoil effect that churns up cool, dense, boundary layer air behind the car with a small vacuum right in front of the spoiler which sucks the car forward to the tune of about 5hp. It's proven. Believe me. It's scientific.

      if you strap it to a dyno after putting a spoiler on i guarantee you wont get better results. you may be able to go faster with better aerodynamics, but the engine makes the horsepower

      Either you went to the Chuck Norris school of acting, or someone really took me literally, lol. I was kidding along the lines of putting on go faster stickers, stereos, etc.
