I think allowing air at the nose under the car is alright as long as you manage the air-flow underneath with a smooth belly pan or something.

Many forum comments about lower is not better in certain cases.

EDIT: found this scale model picture.

The real thing (1973 not 1976) is at the GM Heritage Museum, can someone make it over there and snap a picture of the belly?

Guess I'll have to wait for a special event when it's open to the public.
