Isn't that something? I've been thinking of this exact thing now, ever since Metro put up that F150 aero thread.
I've been outside pondering the best aeromods for my Tempo. Even have a crude mock-up on it.
Boattail doesn't appeal to me for several reasons.
No top chopping; I don't want to drop the seats onto the floor because I want to retain rear seat functionality too, and I need the headroom.
No fastback window and bodywork; too much work for too little gain.
And so on... until I settled upon the notion of a "Bonneville Style" spoiler remarkably similar to the one pictured on the Fusion! So I've been reviewing my Hucho book and surfing for aero articles. Yes, that's why my recent posts reference some Hot Rod magazine stuff.
I want my spoiler to go out rather than up to achieve the imaginary 14 deg drop from the roof. This minimizes the area of the body that leaves a wake zone. The Camaro would have been even more slippery with a "Bonneville Style" spoiler.
