Last night I found flowillustrator.com. I wish I knew how to get more accurate data input for my own car. But here is some crazy flow analysis of a 2D slice of my 911 (absent wheels and front fenders). I tried it both with and without a front-mounted wing -- which seems to change the way my front splitter would work and also (oddly) seems to have some effect on the airflow over the rear window. Garbage in, garbage out, as they say. I don't understand Reynold's numbers and I don't know how to set the right velocity. But it's kind of crazy what the internet has to offer -- if only a guy could figure it out.
