Default yup...

a pretty cool feature. Much like Bugatti Veyron or the high end Porsches.

OBV, it creates additional downforce while at high speed.

I'm concerned that when I supercharge my S5 with the VF supercharger that I won't have enough downforce. I may put the rear spoiler on from ABT.

Pericles, I checked VF's Web site and did not see anything in the works, I assume you have different information...just curious, sorry about slightly off topic.
