2.8L Ford V6 : )
found that on a stock chrome bumper MGB a spoiler did make high speed
stability noticably better. Even at speeds under 100 mph.
I had one of the old Flexi Skirt spoilers that had a rubber skirt to within
1.5" of the road surface. I think I must have patched the thing back
together at least 10 times. I don't recomend them for street use, unless
you like the smell of fiberglass resin.
