no cheating now

**dodgefan67** · 10-31-2010, 10:48 AM

so it wouldn't be in the rear view?

Thats one of the stories according to an article I read online. But the reason is the engineers say that the aero numbers kept getting better with the wing as they raised it until it reached 3 feet high...so they left it there...

"Two stories explain the rear spoiler. The common idea is that it's three feet tall so the trunk can open. However, it could have simply been mounted on the trunk in the production cars. An interview with the engineers at Chrysler, long ago, included a comment to the effect that as the numbers kept getting better as they raised the spoiler, until it was three feet off the car, that's where they left it."
