I like the MT5.
Random, I know. Seriously though, I like the look of the original SHO's body kit and all. They looked sweet for a taurus.

find a v8sho, walk up to it, and push down on the top of the spoiler. it's rigid enough that any force, allbeit small, would actually be transferred into downforce, whereas most spoilers are purely aesthetic, even if they have a larger surface area to produce downforce, all of it is lost in the flexability of the spoiler itself. don't even get me started on those aftermarket tinfoil [censored] you see on ricers.. sigh.
but who needs extra downforce on the read end of a front wheel drive car anyway?

My point exactly.
I don't think the Gen III SHO spoiler is any more effective than the rear spoiler on teh CSVTs, ZX2s, and any other similar platform.

That ZX2 spoiler looks ok, just a little small.
My spoiler is pretty sturdy, at least compared to my buddy's Corolla S. Pushing down on my spoiler pushes the whole car down and there's like no give. I'm not sure if it's factory or not but It weighs a bit cause the trunk won't pop open.

remember too in 96 not many cars even had a factory rear spoiler as an option...
