In the early 70's spoilers were controversial. In the Carrera RS book there is graphic that shows results of testing done by a German automotive magazine Sport-Auto to test the speed and handling of the RS in a number of combinations without and with the front and rear spoilers. Compared against a base line of no spoilers, just a rear spoiler gave a .5 KPH advantage, but made the handling quite poor, with just a front spoiler the advantage was 2.0 KPH, and with both front and rear spoilers it was an advantage of 5.0 KPH and the handling was far superior. They concluded that indeed Porsche was right in their claim of markedly improved top speed and handling.
Don,
I thought you already had a rust free 'T'. I know its white, but if you put the rear RS flares on you could then paint it red. Don't you need another project anyway?;)
