Mayf,
I tend to agree for one particular reason. When I first started running my
Camaro, unknown to me, it had been in a front end wreck and the front fenders
were a tiny bit out of whack, as was the lower front valance. It didn't show up
until I added the closed off RS grille and lower air dam. The inch of offset
really showed up beginning at a lowly 120, and it took more and more
countersteer to keep the car straight as the speed went up. I repaired it and
straightened it all out and it ran fine after that. The offset was not even
visible. My guess is, when you get up in speed a little, you will feel the
aerodynamic pull from that offset cage and your head and upper torso sticking
up in the wind on one side of the car. Compensating with a rear spoiler seems
a good way out.
How about a roadster guy commenting. Do you feel the drag of a driver and cage
all on one side of the car at speed?

Why not? If your airflow is asymmetrical, make your spoiler asymmetrical
to even out the aero effects.
