Yes I know that - my question was deliberately sarcastic . . . there is NO point in fitting a spoiler to the rear of a front wheel drive car so why do people, and even manufacturers, do it ? In fact it can have the effect of pushing the back of the car down at the expense of lightening the front hence reducing traction - unless of course counter measures are also taken at the front.

It's purely aesthetic and lets be realistic, on the ZT it looks the Mutts Nutts...(IMO)

I suppose it is just like everything else, different strokes for different folks.
