I commissioned someone to run some computer simulations on it for me .
A video of the Pantera aerodynamics in different configurations with explanations will be put on YouTube in the next few weeks.
here are a couple still pictures
obviously, computer simulation are not as precise as a real wind tunnel, but it gives us an idea…

Very cool stuff. Now, if I could just remember what a Reynolds number was!

Easy… when I poke my finger in your eye, how deep does my finger go in / how hard is your eyeball!
He’s gonna explain the whole thing in the video… He knows his stuff

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity (no units), that is the ratio of inertial to viscous (and vicious) forces acting on the fluid!
I think JFB5177 has the compiled Ford Wind Tunnel data!

Haven’t seen those data…
I have the Style Auto article. to large to post, but this link should allow the download of 75mb pdf

This is very very cool!
Thank you so much for sharing
i’ll print it out when I get back home in a week
