I've always liked the Dodge Charger Daytona/Plymouth Superbirds. They look mad, and were able to do 200 MPH in 1969. I never knew until today why their spoilers were so insanely tall. The folks at Heacock Classic have a brief explanation as to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Indeed the sides are also very important for aero. They act almost like stabilizers on a plane. Very necessary for a car this large.

Yeah, apparently engineers at the time said there were a lot of advantages to the wing, and tried to pass it off like it was really the best positioning for the wing, and not the trunk issue. If there's any truth to that though, or the idea that the wing acted as a stabilizer, wouldn't we have seen this sort of setup on more than just an extremely limited-run model?

I would imagine it is because of better wing designs.

I never thought about the trunk opening. I would have guessed the quarters were more rigid.
