Daughter needs Gas mileage from 273 commando
NASCAR has proven the "Draft" thing every time you watch them. You can treat Air as a fluid we have to travel through, we just don't "Feel" the resistance as much as you would standing in the water at the Beach and feeling the undertow of the water on your legs. I don't know if anyone has taken the time to figure out the "Drag Coefficent "of a '65 Barracuda, but what little I know is that lowering the car as much as is reasonable on the street and the big back glass helps more than we know. I use to go to East Coast Timming Association races in N.C. at the 1 mile standing start time trials (Gone Now) and you saw all kinds of "Tricks" at the track. The greatest thing was that Young and Old worked togeather to help a stranger (2 young Guys) join the 200 M.P.H. club when you saw them SOOO close ! Quick examples "I" have seen actually work. Thin Lexan molded over the complete front of the Car (keep factory look) with just enough air flow to cool the car and feed the carb. "Duct Tape"! @ base of windshield , remove wipers, Best was a rear belly pan up to rear diff. to allow the air to "Let go" of the car. Don't remember all the details but they made it to the 200 M.P.H. Club and they gave everyone credit and said it was a joint effort. "Car people helping Car people". "Thats all I have to say about that" (Forest Gump)
