Science.

Find a high-resolution photo of your car in profile, preferably taken from far away with lots of optical zoom, and overlay the streamlining template on it in PhotoShop. If the spoiler lies within the ideal teardrop shape, keep it. If it's too high, kill it.



Speaking of science, I have a request for data. You have lean burn, and a stick. Below a certain impg, you'll fall out of lean burn. How many mpg is that in 5th gear, and what's the fastest speed you can cruise on a flat road in LB?

This X-gauge will help:
