I used to like the "gutters" on the sides of TL
Now they look weird.

What are they for anyway ? aero dynamics ?

BTW, those gutters on the TL have absolutely nothing to do with the "speed" of the car. The coefficient of drag is calculated based on the surface area of the front of the car, not the sides.

Some people will believe anything.

If car makers could get "free" performance upgrades from a couple lines down the sides of the car, don't you think all cars would have them?

Couldn't have said better myself. :thumbsup:
