I also have Barracuda, but what is the point of Wing, Looks or down force? Never seen a SS car with one.
Ours is for a work table or drink holder If you read what the OP said it was to hide the chute and some racers do them because they like the looks...I was told you had to be approaching 200MPH for them to be of any benefit....

i'm looking to put one on my Dart due to sometimes the car gets a bit floaty in the rear at 140mph. any surface thats not 100% sticky causes the float to start. i'm hoping it will help keep my rear firmly planted & the car running straight n true.

Which brings me to ask How do you know if those spoilers your putting on your car are Helping or Hurting. Yes they look very cool BUT.
I plan on testing mine with the cowl hood vs ss/ah style hood and stock decklid vs the one with the wing because i'd like to know the answer to your question also.....
That same show about the Shelby Coupe also talked about the huge opening in the front of the Shelby once they closed that in and added slope to front the car picked up some amazing time, also in the sixties when mopar was racing the Charger they moved the grill flush with front of car and swepted the back window Charger 500 was born,and car went faster of course. What about closing or bring grill even with front on the Barracuda??
