Here's a question for the 997 vs 996 experts...
Has anyone else noticed the the 997 has fewer slots in the auto-raising rear spoiler? Its been mentioned many times, and I think it looks smoother on the 997 than the 996 by far.
However, I was washing my car the other day, and I noticed that, on the 996, the slots point down, towards the engine. So, when the spoiler is raised, it seems like some air would also get directed down into the engine bay, rather than just out.
On the 997, the slots are flat, and point out of the engine, so it would seem that when the spoiler is raised, very little or no air would get directed down into the engine.
My question is: is there any cooling purpose to these slots, or are they merely there to control air-flow out of the engine?
To see what I'm talking about, look at the photo comparing the rear spoilers of the 996 and 997.
