Here is a row of VGs on the trailing edge of my 2005 smart car.

I have no empirical numbers to offer - I do so many mods to my car that I can never isolate the results of any one at a time!

The most interesting result is a noticable improvement in straight-line tracking at highway speed on this 8ft long car!

Cheers, all.
