Anyways, cool pics! I don't like it, though, I'm starting to like the 3GT :/
This is will similar to the downforce generated by the TT spoiler, and the Porsche Panamera spoilers... or even on the Beetle Turbo...

They (the spoilers) are not there for sporting reasons, but rather to keep the car stable at hi-speed...

.... enough downforce to keep the car rear end remain on the ground (avoiding rear wheel lift off/ loss of traction)
and it's NOT the kind of downforce to stick the car to the road even for it to drive upside down...
