I've posted some of them and provided a link to Big Mike's forum, is that where you got them as well?
Car Wind Tunnel Data
Another similar:
Windtunnel photos of various cars - Miata Turbo Forum - Turbo Kitten is watching you test compression.
And another:
Downforce and Aero of various cars (cool pictures))
..............and yet another......five more after this, in foreign languages.
Downforce anyone ? - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community

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.
Looking for ideas and/or pictures of drilled out parts - Page 16 - Pelican Parts Technical BBS

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.
