I recall  the caption under of photo in an aerodynamics book I had at work.
"corvair  in the Convair wind tunnel."   So somewhere out there is ( or  used
to be ) actual wind tunnel data.

These days we could more  probably learn about as much with the right
instrumentation and careful  road testing.



When I talked about wind tunnels in my previous post I was referring to  full 
scale cars. There are many, many more wind tunnels that can be used with  
scale models.
 
BTW NASCAR uses the Lockheed tunnel outside Atlanta.
