Ever catch air under the car and have the nose lift at 100+, I first experienced it with my Dad in his 72 Buick. Google is your friend, use it.

My read on the "pursuit plane" comment was related to the similar design of the TA scoop and say a P51 underbelly air scoop, and the other similar aircraft being tasked with pursuit objectives. Regardless, sure gives a lot of merit IMO that these features noted were market driven. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The 1st squadron of the Flying Tigers were called the Adam and Eve's, after history's first pursuit.

It's about the boundary layer, which of course would matter more at aircraft speeds, but has been applied to racecars as well. In any case, the T/A street car program, as well as the other manufacturers', was about homologating parts, with a big side-helping of marketing.

Since those terms come from the WWII era, especially the pursuit mention, your ignorance is astounding.

(Top Banana was used with the 1971 model year) Does this car have the '71 grille...and painted front bumper currently, or does it have the chrome and bumperette's, and '70 grille...as in the first ad ?? 🤔 Last edited by RoadRunnerLuva; 01/20/24 06:30 PM.
