I almost did away with my daughter's college fund after watching that video.

Not sure about the spoiler...Otherwise magnificent machine

I had a 1993 3000GT VR4 back in the 90's. It had an active Aero system that would deploy an Aero dam under the front and the rear spoiler would tilt up about 20%. The front Aero piece was supposed to create a venturi effect to create more downforce on top, with the spoiler creating more downforce in the rear. At high enough speeds it actually did increase downforce and gave a little better handling.
