I think the "old" sedan looks the sharpest. I think my Fiat is one of my favorites in the looks department.

I don't think I have ever driven an old Fiat, but I remember watching them at race tracks do very well indeed. An X19 is on my list when someone gives me a lot of money and says, "Buy cars!". (My second car was an Alfasud Ti, so I kinda understand the era.)

I adjust the angle of pitot tube by either adjusting the angle bracket at the pitot tube itself or at the suction mount. But I'd be assessing different drag values of a modified spoiler with the throttle stop technique, not the pitot. Pity you don't live around the corner, because it'd be a really interesting test to do, I think.
