Is there a high pressure bubble inside the pitot tube created by the forward-facing inlet or not? Jesus Christ.... that's all I'm trying to establish, because aerohead swears up and down that the bubble at the base of a sharp hood/windshield transition doesn't apply rearward force to the car, and that somehow the front of a car experiences no resistance from the atmosphere.
