It was incredibly difficult to see to keep from driving off the road. I could hear debris picked up by the wind, bouncing of the side of the car, including stuff being deflected by the fiberglass at the rear.
As for the extension, I did notice that the center-of-pressure still seems to be toward the front wheels, as each time a burst of wind came, the nose of the car would point away from the direction of wind.
On the way home tonight, it was not raining, but still blowing very hard with quite a bit of debris to avoid on the road. Again the nose of the car seemed to be the most affected by the high side-winds.

How different is this form the responce before the boattail? Or is this the highest side winds you have encountered?
