Message	therefore, since the air under the car is slower and more turbulent, it has a higher pressure. since the air over the car is faster and less turbulant (due to the divots, and the lower surface 'friction' from the air pockets), the air pressure is lower. hense, the car will have positive lift... just like an airplane wing. The faster you make the air on top, the more lift you have. I made a general statement. I doubt you'd see 10 pounds of lift at 60mph... Hardly noticable for a street car. I like the copy and paste explanation... of a golf ball. Petz #3
