Shark fin antenna on P5??

Uh, no joke - a line of shark fins (parallel to the spoiler) across the back (4/5ths of the total lenght of the roof) of the roof would help reduce high speed drag. This would break up the vortex caused by the airflow around the rear end. Think the dimples on the golf ball - kinda' effect. Trip ('break up') the laminar flow around the vehicle at the right places.

Stoopid looking? probably. Less lame than the 'towel rack' on a Civic? yep.

That would make sense as to why the Evo's run that splitter/diffuser on the top of the rear window.

 

[P-Funk!]

^yep.

Just so we are clear here, there was not 1 ounce of seriousness in my suggestions of using multiple shark fins.

My bad, its kind of hard to tell sarcasm in written form.

Hey reynoldsrobbie, great looking P5. Yah, the shark fin would be best used with the serius antenna. Good job

Maybe if we use that kind of a setup with the shark fins, our P5 wil be as fast as evos.

IF ONLY!! of coarse there are some rides on this sight that are as fast or faster than evo's(those lucky P5's with turbos)
