Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'Aero Testing - Part 5' - The twin turbo RX7 in the wind-tunnel and wool-tuft tested on the road. So far in this series we've stuck tufts of brightly coloured wool all over cars and driven them down the road, analysing and photographing the swirling patterns of air and deducting where there's attached and turbulent flow, lift and downforce. Then last week we stepped into the DaimlerChrysler wind tunnel and looked at the smoke-stream testing of lots of late model Mercedes models. This week we'll go back to wool-tufting on the road a twin turbo Mazda RX7 - but we'll also look at some of the test data gained from this model in the wind tunnel.
