Default wing on 996 TT - does it stay up when you park?

There is some local D.B. who always seems to have his wing up on his porsche 996, even when parked.

I thought they came back down when the car slowed to 35mph.? Is this guy just Posing or does the wing actually stay out?

There is a switch inside the cabin where you can push for up or down.

I think there's a manual override so you can put it up and leave it up.


DB = Dead Beat, Dirt Bag, Defensive Back?

the guy I am talking about it always on his cell phone, parks on the sidewalk, etc... anything for attention.... so he drives a great car, but never like it was meant..... and has always put the goofy wing out.... even on his crappy old boxster the wing (whatever that thing is on a boxster) would be out at any speed / parked, etc....

People do stupid stuff for attention in my opinion.......

I sometimes leave mine up too, especially in the snow / ice (yeah I do drive it in that stuff).

I don't see the problem, it's not an obnoxious wing.

The 996TT comes with a rear wing that stays up all the time. Within this wing is another hydraulic (?) wing that goes up or down depending on your speed. >75 mph on the 996, not sure about the 996TT. I'm also not sure if the 996TT has the same manual button to raise and lower the wing as the 996 does.
