[DeTomaso] Airflow test # 5/late for work 2012

[Dan Mixon]

The Cobra Daytona Coupe as designed was not getting any airflow into the
cockpit through the side window openings at speed. Their solution was to
attach an adjustable plexiglas deflector, spaced about 1" out, to each A
pillar. Simple solution. Problem solved.

Well, that shows about what I would have guessed it would look like.  Its
not a dead zone, and the boundary

layer can't be real thick in that area.  The "elephant ear" scoops will be
in a good area to do what they should be doing...bringing in cooler air to
the intake.  You get more horsepower from dropping the intake charge
temperature than you will from whatever pressure increase you would get from
a scoop like that. Or any real

world scoop.  Do you really need those scoops to find cooler air?  Probably
not, but they're one of the easier

ways to get it to the carb.  There are plenty of other ways.
