I took of my stock 2 post spoiler today, and i noticed a HUGE difference in the way the car feels at speeds above ~60 mph. Lighter? More unstable than before? does anyone else feel that difference or is it mind over matter?

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

bro...no offense...but you dont know what your talking about...i have been in vehicles where we purposly took it off and on just to feel the difference and there most certainly is...the more pressure you put on those back wheels and the air flow it creats is strictly to keep the rear end down on the ground and keep it from getting wobbly...this is why most sports cars and high end cars have spoilers on them from the factory...even the 911's and boxers have a piece(i dunno if i would call it a wing or not) that comes out of the rear of the car that "spoils" the air, in essence to push down on the back of the car to handel better at higher speeds...thats why they only come out at around 60 mph...i dont make this sh!t up lol its just a fact and it does what it does...spoils air flow to create more pressure on the back wheels...now im not saying that taking the wing off of a 6g is going to make a huge difference...but if you drive your car everyday on the highway doing 75+ with a wing and then decide to take it off...you WILL feel a slight difference in the way the car performs at high speeds.
