Porches win because they are extremely well engineered, highly refined cars with excellent weight distro (in all planes). If the heat produced thrust, you'd just start rolling when you let off the break, no?

I think this body-panel cooling concept is a little silly. If you took all the fins on my rad and spread them out into a sheet, you'd have a HUUUUGE area.

Oh yeah, and you don't have to have some non-conventional rad to have it in the back, that's what fans and ducts are for.
