I remember a thread a long time ago. Can some one tell me the benefits of raising the rear of the btoom. Do you think it would have any effect on air flow over engine lid, in a positive way?
Opinions? |

Last year in Road & Track magazine there was a brief article about the tailgate up or down question. Ford indicated that wind tunnel tests showed there was less drag with the tailgate up. |
