What’s the function of the D type head rear spoiler! Trying to reduce the turbulence from the driver head? Why don’t they just wear a Rocketeer helmet?

I love seeing all the spoilers deployed on stupid cars at 45 mph, even better when they stay up in stop/ go

Yes - especially since there's a handy windshield in front.

I passed a brand new white 911 on the freeway into town the other day. 65-70, rear spoiler was popped up.
