Oh, yes I did catch that but the Trans-Am image I found just happened to coincide.

What you described is similar to a "Super Ducktail" (my term not an official name) I have on my old computer of a racing Porsche 911. It raised the Ducktail, widened it past the engine lid, and fluted it along the sides. Way to aggressive for what I had in mind, but marvelous in it's own right.

I'll try and find an image of it, worthy of inclusion.

Oh, and I found a wind tunnel for a model by happenstance.

I found the "Super Ducktail", but the car I was thinking of was white. It's similar to the below in any case.

I'm not looking for all that down-force, nor all that bodywork.

Looks like they taped them on and liked the results before they glassed them in.
