Pelican Parts Forums - MORE random pics......

In my yoot I had a 69 GTX like the one in the pic up to about 130ish on the 22 freeway, that was pretty much maxed out and it felt like it was floating. It did NOT handle well and was far from confidence building.
It had the 440 magnum with air grabber, aluminum intake with 750 holley and headers and was very strong.

If that aero package could net them another 20 mph and provide enough downforce to keep the car on the road, then it was truly a magnificent work of engineering.

Why the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona’s Spoiler is So Tall

The 1969 Dodge Daytona, and corporate sibling the 1970 Plymouth Superbird, were special edition vehicles manufactured by Mopar to compete mostly in NASCAR. Designed in a wind tunnel and boasting a 0.28 drag coefficient, the Daytona’s styling was bold, to say the least

Quote:

The lower the drag coefficient the better. The lower the number the more aerodynamic the vehicle is cutting through the air which helps in increasing fuel economy.

GM engineers concede that Toyota achieved 0.25 for the Prius on their wind tunnel, but as they point out “its really all relative to what tunnel it was tested on”. See GM’s statement.

Just for fun, check out this Wikipedia article listing the coefficient of drag for many vehicles. A 2003 Hummer H2 had a rating of 0.57, whereas a 1996 GM EV1 0.195.

There was a time when I sported a decent mullet, but in high school we had to shave our heads for football and my hair was still growing out then.

They had to make the spoiler that high so it would clear when you opened the trunk.
