Ignorant people tend to write ignorant statements. There were several Engineers that chimed in on the original post about the Aerodynamic Engineers that were involved in the design of the 69 Daytona and 70 Superbird. They also mentioned the wind tunnel testing that was performed and that this was the first time an Automotive company used computer analysis for the data collected.  They also mentioned the huge success that these cars had for stabilization at high speeds.

Yep, and Ryan Carlyle does not.  His PhD ( post hole digger) went to his head there for a minute. Maybe jumping to conclusions after seeing too many ricers.
