But yes, something like the "cool Scoop" I used on the Cherokee (airplane windows don't roll down, and there's just a small flap about the size of my hand that opens) would work. I was hoping for something more aerodynamic, as in if you can take some high-pressure air from the front, run it through the car for cooling, then exhaust it into a low-pressure area at the rear, you've reduced drag in addition to getting a nice cool breeze.
It sounds like a job for a NACA Duct!
