Okay..., I don't like the wing: that's out of the way.

Now I'm wondering why is it there in the first place?

Not for track use because track wings are more elaborate and large.

Given that the aerodynmamics of TT and Carrera are the same (because the shape is basically the same) if the 997 Carrera can make runs on the Autobahn at near-200mph with a retractible spoiler, why can't the Turbo?

Is it because the Turbo body has been given different aerodynamics and therefore _requires_ a wing?

Do the GT3, TT and Carrera have wings and appendages and aero kits just so they look different?

If only a few hundred cars go from dealership to track, why would Porsche build cars for the track? Presumably a retractible spoiler is all that's needed on any 997 for the gradual curves and straight shots of the Autobahn.

Did anybody ask Porsche: "Why did you build the Turbo with a wing?" Anybody get an answer? Is it because they want the cars to all _look_ different? THAT answer would freak me out.
