I think the s281 is functional just clearly not as functional as the t1 I've heard rumors the crab wing is functional too but I dunno

The T1 realistically is functional at all speeds. I've had both the S281 and T1 on my car and the difference is night and day. For one, the T1 weighs a bit more so it gives a LOT of grip coming out of a corner and at high speed it's phenomenal. At California speedway's "Roval" I was planted going 140-150 around NASCAR turn 1 & 2. I don't think it'd be a great autocross spoiler as you don't really get up to, too high of speeds. but the slowest I went around Auto Club was a decreasing radius corner at about 40-50 IIRC and it kept me planted the entire way around.

I am sorry but this is a funny post. You contradict yourself by saying it would be good at all speeds in the first sentence but then finish sayin it might not help at an autocross event because of low speed? And now I have to ask how much more it weighs from the stock spoiler as if a pound er two matters that much on the back end I will throw a couple of pounds in the trunk to see how much it helps...

yeah looking back I had a bit of retardation. but it is functional at all road course speeds is what I meant, as far as street and autocross, obviously not gonna do any good.

It's heavy enough to out power the shocks on the trunk. It's a LOT of weight compared to stock. I want to say at least 15+ lbs but I've never put it on a scale.

I like my crab spoiler fairly well.. just wish it wasn't quite as thick. Looks a bit bulky.

the retardation probably came from me just being in the conversation but I wanted to check.

If my memory serves the 00R spoiler was only really functional at speeds 140 or 150+ and I guess I'd be surprised if the T1 made as big of a difference as that spoiler does.

I wouldn't put the 00r spoiler or the T1 spoiler on my car if it guaranteed 10 rwhp
But it's just not my cup of tea anyway. I'm a wingless kinda guy. Not to disrespect any 00r or T1 spoiler owners in anyway.

And to the OP, if i can find a pic of my car when i first got it, it had an s281 spoiler and Cobra R hood.
