' video ' maybe

I took my VHS cassette of the EV1 land speed record with me on my recent trip. A friend in Fayetteville, Arkansas does video restoration/ transfer, and it turned out that the VHS was in perfect condition. And the footage has been transferred to a memory stick. I'll see if I can get assistance putting it here at EcoModder.
One particular image was taken far enough away from the car that, it approaches that of a technical image, from which critical measurements may be taken.
Lowered, and with the 'Yellow Ferret' aluminum boat tail installed, as best as I can tell, the tearing edge of the car has been moved rearwards where it intercepts the silhouette of the AST-III, just as Doctor Hermann Burst's, with the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 'duckbill' spoiler.
The Cd 0.137 of the EV1 matches the Cd 0.137 of the 1985 Ford PROBE-V concept, who's tearing edge silhouette also coincides with that of the AST-III. Something Dr. Hucho implored us to pay attention to.
