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.

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.
