Hamoud, Wind tunnels are like flesh tunnels, but usually you try and stay out of the wind tunnel.

and answering the first question, the walky was not the first street car in the world to be designed in a wind tunnel.

I just found some info earlier today mentioning that the HDT VK Group A's front spoiler and grill were designed in a wind tunnel. It also mentioned that the rear wing wasn't as CAMS would have probably rejected it and that the wing would probably only become optional on the model. Have previously seen Holden info mentioning it as optional.
