Are you talking about the large truck image?

That one is obviously right off the bat faked, and does not alarm me.

However I find it disturbing when such things are done too well and as an attempt to fraud the viewer.

One of the pick-up truck side views at the beginning of this thread is that way.

The Vette gif should come with a disclaimer that there are no gold chains and coke involved, it's only a smoke breathing dragon.

I was not sure where to post this, but because it shows the resultant power or force of aerodynamics it's going in here.

Not saying it would but I haven't studied the geometry in detail, so it's something I'd probably look at.

I have somewhere photos of a 911 on the race track with it's aftermarket fiberglass hood being sucked upward. Quite interesting what happens at speed.
