Title: TC model on mythbusters

Not sure if this is a repost because it may have been a rerun of mythbusters. They did a segment on drafting behind a semi and if it really improves fuel consumption. First they did a mock-up of the test using a model of a semi and a red 87-88 TC. I couldn't hear if they mentioned anything about the TC, but it was still pretty sweet to see it on tv.

I saw that too.  I was a little confused why they used a TC as the model.  It's an "Aero bird"  and they wanted to measure drag... They should've used a pickup truck because the TC was already alot easier on drag.
