Spats certainly
do make a difference. I was just showing the unpredictability of aero mods. Personally, I would have bet money ( and lost money ) by looking at the spats on that Camaro.
The area of the wheel sticking out in the wind is enormous ! I would have thought the spats would have dropped the Cd quite a bit.
While we are on the subject of that car, just look at the huge gaping wheel wells around that back tire ! No wheel skirts, yet a .201 !
And stock door handles and misaligned window trim as well !
That car LOOKS like an aero nightmare.
