Interested to see how much this goes for, have the one I took off of my car that I don't really want. Not in as good nick as yours though.

Oh my god I wish I could put this on my turbo! I prefer the look of this rear end 1000 times but the turbo under spoiler was added for a very good reason and removing it would be a VERY bad idea!

Turbo one looks so much better, but that just my personal choice, but I know that on the Turbo its not just there for the looks!

What does the rear under spoiler do on a later 944 S2/Turbo? (not the toast rack, the other one !)

Looks nice, and has some aerodynamic effect. How much I don't know, but more than nothing. The toast rack was really just designed to cover the untidy rear of the early cars, where you could see the wheel well.

I once heard that Porsche had to add it during the turbos development to aid rear end traction. In our unscientific experiment my toast rack lux also had noticeably less rear end grip than my friends equal age lux with a turbo rear valance fitted. When chasing each other through the outskirts of Milton keynes he said to me how come your car slides out of the roundabouts but mine wont even when I try? We swapped cars and agreed his car felt more planted at the rear at anything over 40mph. Persudo effect due to tires, probably but I like to think it was the spoiler.

Tyres are more likely to be the case. It's pretty much impossible to start getting any sort of aero benefit on British roads, other than motorway stability, as I understand it. That's why it would be more sensible for the government to legislate against aftermarket spoilers that just increase fuel consumption, than force pointless hybrids into existence. [8|]

It's been mentioned before, I think it was Mr Sweetenham (who's raced a few 944s in his time), that the proper 944 spoiler does create some benefit on track that the bridge spoiler doesn't.
