Does removing the spoiler on a 00 GT really increase its trap speed?

you lose like 4lbs or something when you take it off. and some aerodynamic drag. but i doubt it really matters.

It saves weight - thats all. The wing is completely non functional. (no lift, no drag)

It's been stated on several occassions that removing the spoiler is good for almost a 1mph increase in the quarter. Never tried this myself, but Bill who has one of the quickest N/A 2v's confirms it..

How much of an increase do you get for taking off the antenna and valve stem caps?

I have also heard the 1mph quote. Its an easy before and after thing to do though at the track. 4 bolts I believe.
