nysillestpr,

You're a ****ing idiot.
 
The SL and VR-4 versions of the 3000GT up until 1999 all have the same spoiler. The VR-4 for 1999 has the rather large EVO like spoiler, while the base models have the 1997-98 Eclipse like spoiler. The spoilers are nonadjustable. You might be confusing the spoiler with the Active Aero system on the 3000GTs. The Active Aero moves up or down depending on the speed to create more downforce and stabilize the car at high speeds.
 
I found a description from a Mitsubishi manual that explains it better than I can:

While sophisticated drivetrain and suspension systems enhance traction,
handling and safety characteristics of the 3000GT VR-4, an Active Aero™
system modifies the body shape of the vehicle at high speeds to increase down
force without increasing aerodynamic drag.

At speeds above 50 mph, the Active Aero™ system automatically tilts the
rear spoiler 14 degrees and lowers the front air dam three inches, modifying
the exterior shape of the car to decrease the amount of air that travels under
the car, reducing both lift and drag. At speeds below 31 mph, the spoiler
automatically repositions to its original angle and the air dam automatically
retracts. The driver can deactivate the system from the automatic mode via a
console-mounted switch.
 
ROFL, I laughed so hard I cried reading the first part, ya'd think they invented active-bending sheetmetal. Mint! :dopey:
