I remember reading that in speed mode, if you even touch the brakes or move the wheel in excess of 5 degrees, it immediately reverts to the standard suspension mode.

you can see it work like that...

when May slows the car down by lifting off the GO pedal...after a few seconds (and a bunch of KPH less) he applys the brakes and the wing pops up...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

It didn't look like it lowered it all the way. Just enough to change the drag somewhat. I guess you need slightly different aerodynamics when you're going 253 MPH.
