[DeTomaso] Looking to buy a used or new Delta rear wing

[John Bentley (jab)]

Wings don't make you faster mountain-man, they are there to give you
some down force at speed.  Drag is just the consequence of the down
force.

You can just see John's wing in this picture: (second picture down)

Just the right height for making sandwiches. :)  Plus he has the two
hood grills in front to toast the bread.

There you go with that book learnin again! ;-]
  ITS STILL UGLY..... unless you moving allot faster then 175 mph you
don't need it unless you are on Brokeback Mountain.....going any slower
I'd be afraid of someone seeing it on my ride!
  ITS JUST WRONG!
   
  MD, who remembers it also SLOWED the top speed of the Pantera 5mph.

drove 
the Pantera because he wanted to see it and as soon as I drove up, his
wife 
walked over and sighted down the wing and said it was the first one she
had 
seen on a car in a long time that might actually do something. Turns out
she 
was an Aerodynamc Engineer at Lawrence Livermore Lab.

FWIW, John #5616 - Raising Pantera Awareness in Wyoming!
