Yeah, but the wind tunnel would be so much cooler. When I went to UCLA in 1984, for years I would pass by this big rusty cylindrical tank laying on it's side, maybe half the size of a gas truck tank. One day when my Dad was visiting, he told me that it was the wind tunnel they built for *him* and other students as part of their research in the 1950's/1960's. Those were they daze!
Back on topic, wouldn't a pressure gauge behind the grill get the job done?
EDIT: Wouldn't it be easy to model this grill in a CFD program? You don't have to model the whole car, just the grill, the radiator, and some hood/side parts of the car.
