DeTomaso Mailing List: August 99, Message #127

This past weekend, someone posted the "end of the world"
message in regards to a wing on a Cadillac (Sorry I forgot who
and can't find the original message...)  I only bring this up
because it crossed my mind twice this afternoon on my way to a
doctors appointment....

1:The mark of the beast is spreading.  Saw a full size, bright
blue, slammed, 4x4 Dodge truck with tires 8 inches outside the
fenderwells with a Toyota Supra type wing on the back of the
bed rails......  I somehow think it only got fouled air flow
from the 8 huge Hella spots on the aerodynamic roll bar in the
front of the bed.....

2:Cadillac with wings.   Doctors office had a (aerodymanicist)
gent waiting who just got back from England where he was
working on a Cadillac LeMans car ( yes, he is a rocket
scientist, from AeroJet ).  Dual turbo Northstar based motor
pushing somewhere around 1100 horse he says.  Pictures he had
in his briefcase looked suprisingly like this year's BMW
LeMans entry....   and yeah, it had a real big wing hanging
off the back and real low in the slip stream ala Mad Dawg's
recent revelations on air flow..

FWIW
