[DeTomaso] Air to engine discussion

[John Taphorn]

Does the video dispel the notion that there is poor airflow along the 
side of the car?  It appears so to me.

If so, that seems pretty noteworthy as many on this forum have 
vigorously advocated that air flow along the panels was poor for quite a 
while.

Another Pantera myth??
