Good point. And the interior windows rolled up so as not to create drafts on the open ends of the manometer tubes. We just want order-of-magnitude baseline measurments to see if any experimental devices actually work. They have to have measurable downforce generated, or the project is a failure, and the experiments should be object, void of opinion.

Everyone is invited to participate and submit test results of their manometer readings, sample point locations, etc. This is statistical data that won't lie or brag. I expect some variations of observed sample data among similar body style Panteras, and maybe more variations between L/Pre-L, GT-5, and GT-5S Pantera's.

My Pantera is on jack stands with the half shafts removed at the moment. I expect all the parts to arrive for my updated 4 piston brake caliper, directional ventilated, cross drilled, slotted rotors project to arrive no later than next week, so any testing will have to wait for a while.

Gee, I hope I don't get stopped for a burned out tail light or something and have to answer a bunch of questions about why a dozen 1/4" O.D. tubes are running into my cockpit from all over the car.... That may take hours to explain.

I think I'll just tell the Officer I'm seperating Argon out of the atmospheric gasses and I am trying to distill a little rarefied, noble gasses too. Want some purified atmospheric argon or neon Officer? Just place your lips right here and take a deep breath....

I'm sure at least one of you won't appreciate that joke, so I'll apologize in advance. My profession is the butt of many jokes, and I just take it in stride anyway.
