The coupe spoiler raises at 70 and goes down at 50. If I'm doing 70 in a 60 zone, and slow to 60 when I see a cop, all he has to do is look at the spoiler to know I've been doing at least 70. Uh, oh!

Add a fixed wing. Looks great and is not a speeding warning to the cops.
I think a cop has to actually seeing you speeding, not some indicator you might have been speeding. BTW, my spoiler rises at 62 mph (2016 base conv), which for europhiles, is 100 kmh.

Yes, seeing a spoiler up is not an indication of speeding. While it automatically rises based on speed, you can also manually raise it.
You can only manually raise the spoiler if the car is not moving. This is so you can clean under it.

Do you raise it simply by lifting up the spoiler?

LOL. No. You press the start button without your foot on the brake and then press the spoiler button located below the shifter. Always room for humor.

Thanks for setting me straight; I'm an old man and just enjoy driving it-don't know all these tricks! Didn't use 80% of the tech on my C7.
I’m pretty sure most cops don’t have any idea at what speed this spoiler goes up.
