The overall aerodynamics of that car were designed to channel air directly over the spoiler. Taking of the spoiler FTL from my point of view.

i have heard from multiple sources that spoilers start generating non-negligable downforce at about 70-75mph...
not sure what is considered non-negligable, though.
i wonder at what speeds the winglike shape of a car body by itself starts generating non-negligable lift....
I do like the look though, but yea, i'd probably keep mine on.

I've "heard" spoilers on 350z's are functional around 80mph. Maybe not the stock lip spoiler, but an actual winged one. I'd love to see the guys on top gear do some spoiler tests...
Oh... wait they have...
