Attached is an article I scanned in from a May 1974 Car and Driver. They measured the drag and downforce of different spoilers and air dams on a 240Z, and even provide performance and fuel economy improvement numbers. Very good stuff for those who are wondering whether they should add aerodynamic aids to their Zs. For example, a non-ducted Spook is a pretty good add on, as others have noted from their own experience.

Actually, I get a database error when I try to send up the attachment. Its a 3.9MB pdf file. Any ideas?

How many pages?

Scan and post as JPG's?

If anyone is interested in aerodynamics testing on the Z car, HybridZ has a forum dedicated to just that!

If it is uploaded to a server, then you could simply link to it. I've never tried attaching anything other than photos on this message board.

Email it to me and I'll host it.

I believe I posted from the same article when Hybrid was getting ready for the wind tunnel testing...
