    When can someone build a mod for it so it works like an air-brake.

    The fact that you can use the toggles to make it stay up at lower speeds is pretty handy come race day...but what kind of fuel consumption will it cost?

    How squirrely will the car be above 55 them the module fails and it goes up and down at will, like the window dippers? :lol:

    I remember when the Audrey TT came out. They were crashing them left & right in you-rope. They had a high speed instability problem that a recall to add a duck-tail spoiler cured. It worked well at spoiling the looks of the TT.

    My guess is that the Coupe may have the same instability issue, hence the wagging wing. Just a SWAG on my part.

    I don't think folks in this country drive at high enough speeds where it will make a difference if it wags the wing or not.
