Actually, I think it might be.




I have considered testing some aero ideas using a built up flat top platform in a pick-up truck bed.

Basic mechanics like this ish.....With yellow dots as pivot points, basically a platform on pivots with a feedback rod pushing on a scale to give relative force ratings. It could be made to have scales under the front and back as well to measure lift/downforce variations. A scale model would be fixed to the test bed, and A-B-A testing done ad nauseam.
