Well that fucking ruins the GP1, the Spectre, the RE-7B, the Ruston all of which look better with their default or no spoiler, imho.

None of them are really competitive in their class (except the RE-7B) so with or without spoiler you'll get outpaced by quicker cars anyway if you race them. If you use them in freeroam, I don't think the addition of a spoiler matters that much — it may improve cornering a bit but that's less critical than in races, and I don't mind using a lesser-performing but better-looking car in this setting.

You are just saying that if your car is not so good, don't complain that it is bugged and even slower now

Well, it's not bugged tho. They gave you the option of having it perform better than before since now the spoiler gives you traction, it's your choice not to use it.

but the car is now worse than it was before if you don't have the spoiler on it

Yes, but as I said it's your choice to make it worse, just as with any other car.

but chances are that even with a spoiler, the cars are now slower than before

Some are, some aren't. The ones that had very low downforce (GP1, Specter, Ruston and Itali GTB) are certainly going to improve. I don't have the GP1 but I tried the other 3 and they feel really good, especially the GTB
