If you mean what I think you do. . .

Spoilers are attachments to an automobile, either to the bumper, trunk, tailgate above the rear screen, designed to generate downforce at speed. These make a powerful car more stable, and allow maximum contact and traction, between the tyres and the road surface. In order to generate more downforce though, there's a penalty - they increase "drag" (wind resistance, which of course reduces fuel economy. Spoilers tend to become useful at speeds above 70mph, which is the speed at which aerodynamics come into play.

Spoilers are also utilized to direct air over none too smooth areas on an automobile, to create a path of the least resistance, to increase fuel economy.

SRS is the term given to airbags - Supplementary Restraint System.

Siena, dont get the wires crossed. He's asking SR5 (S-R-FIVE). Which is a Toyota designation. it simply means Sport Rally 5 speed. Here's a link for that.

Ah, got you, Kunle.

Seems odd to group a model designation, with aerodynamic aids, I assumed he was asking about things that are common to the automobile industry.

Guess it must have been in an ad somewhere and he's just not sure what it meant. undecided
