Where do you plan to mount the camera ?
Besides the obvious views that you want, such as the sides of the tail, it would be interesting to see how much turbulence is on the very back and underside. ( like behind the wheels )
When do you plan to add minitails to your mudflaps ?
Also, I know that you didn't get good results with your bellypan test, but as you mentioned, the cardboard was drooping down during the test. Do you ever plan to redo the test ?

And one more thing - Do you remember the post about the U.C.Davis Taurus that they aeromodded ?
It seems like it would be a simple thing to create a concave area around the center of the back end. It can't hurt ( might even look better too, rather than have a totally flat surface ... a little style ) If you remember, the aero guy stated that the concave area created a small vacuum that resulted in a smaller wake.
