[DeTomaso] Rear spoiler

[Scott Mead Photography]

The GT5 spoiler creates an amazing amount of downforce at speed. File this under "Kids, don't try this at home or on an island." A few years ago, Paul DeCoite wanted to see what his Yates NASCAR motor would do in his '72 GT5 clone. Somewhere north of 160, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw his rear deck lid and leading edge (by the hinges) bowing. Fortunately, the hinges held, but I remember them being pretty messed up after the fact. 

Aloha,

Scott
