[DeTomaso] Kurt Busch Pantera

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Looks nice, but I have one concern.  It's been my understanding that the 
laminar flow of air along the sides of the Pantera require enormous 
"elephant ear" style scoops in the rear quarter window area to catch it 
because it's so far off the car.  The small scoops don't pick up the air 
at higher speeds.

So.... the simple rectangular openings in the sail panels of the rear 
deck lid would seem to me, to be -wrong-.  I would pose the problem is 
going to be stagnant air, or even negative pressure nearly equaling the 
that of the air pump that is the engine.  I'm not an engineer (I only 
play one on TV) but it seems if they really wanted air, they'd need to 
put some scoops on those intakes so they can actually catch the air 
going where it is.

What to the experts think?  I'm curious to understand it better.
