True enough, but I guess were all going on speculation...either he has it for track days, or he has an acquired taste

If the guy honestly raced his car and really needed the down force.... than I think its totally cool.

If the guy just putts around on the street... then its totally not cool.

Given that its on a convertible then I'm going to make the assumption that its not a track car.

Yep, that's one of the bad things about being a human, you can't just "un-see" something. No matter how hard you try, you still see the image in your mind.
