[DML] Re: Baurle Heat Deflector

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Nick - I tend to agree with you.  There may be some effect, based on 
the fact that the "exhaust flow" (if you want to call it that) from 
the radiator will tend to be more focused with the deflector, as 
opposed to bleeding out in several directions without it.  However, 
the radiator and the fan shrouds are already tilted down quite a 
bit, so it shouldn't be at all significant.  Now, if we were talking 
about the Buggati Veyron at 250+ mph, undercar air management is 
critical to stability.  With the DeLorean?  Not so much.
