Reply to "Functional air intake on c pillar?"

No-Quarter, quite a few have tried. And the consensus is, at anywhere near legal speeds, the air flow is OUT the scoops from the engine compartment. Somewhere around 140 mph, a small amount of air begins to be 'scooped' in, countering the normal flow, and by 170 mph, there's enough pressure to rip the scoops out of the body- as they're only are held in by friction of the rubber sealing boots. Your neighbors in the Swedish Club did rolling tests with tufts of yarn a decade ago to prove the boundary layer on a Pantera's side is about 4" thick. So any functional scoop should stick out further than that- hence the elephant-ears which look awful but function best.
