Maybe upload a few locally? Or at least some of the important ones?

Your talk about the panel behind/between the headrests has me thinking.


It makes sense that could help aero, similarly to the way drag is reduced with a tailgate up vs. down on pickup trucks. Encapsulated vortex/turbulence.



Makes me want to do some tuft testing. Are you aware of any existing testing?
I'll upload some of the photos locally, no problem.

I haven't seen anyone publish any numbers, or even visuals (like tuft tests), it's entirely anecdotal. I can say that with the windows up and the top down, the air in the "cabin" is really quite still, except for on the top of my head and in that area between the seats.

Any ideas on how I might be able to visualize this?
