I agree with this completely. You guys... i didn't say that there is no need for a spoiler on a front drive. It does stable it at high speeds, that's the whole point of them. I just said it has more of an effect on rear drive since it does create down force improving the traction (since it's on the rear). Also, when the front end elevates cause of excessive rear down force, the front wheel drive car is going to coast while the rear wheel drive car will continue accellerating... THAT'S NOT TO SAY- that there is no need for a spoiler on a front wheel drive car though. I guess this is mostly an issue on drags.
