Turbo Coupe model on Mythbusters June 06, 2007, 09:10:10 PM Who is watching the new episode of Mythbusters?I was amazed to see them using a model of an '87-'88 Turbo Coupe in their wind tunnel tests. It's nice to see that kind of recognition on such a quality show.For reference, they're trying to bust the myth of "drafting" behind a trunk on the interstate. Quote Selected

Turbo Coupe model on Mythbusters Reply #4 – June 06, 2007, 11:27:25 PM Yeah, I actually leaned forward in excitement. I never do that.Yeah, Will. It works.At one point, they witnessed a 40% increase in gas mileage. I think it was about 20' from the rear of a truck. Quote Selected

Turbo Coupe model on Mythbusters Reply #7 – June 06, 2007, 11:58:00 PM Not sure about gas mileage, but drafting behind a truck decreased my temp significantly driving out to cleveland in the ranchero last weekend. Went from almost out of Normal in to hot to slightly above normal temp. Quote Selected
