Within his articles Rocky Rotella has brought up the related subject regarding the Trans Am shaker scoop when functional. Was as it's more than a hot-selling gimmick to draw potential customer traffic onto the showroom floor and whether the factory sales literature aerodynamic drawings showing high-pressure air at the base of the windshield are accurate or not. Whether it actually worked that way is debatable. Some suggest watching water drops roll off the top of the shaker and backwards into the opening prove it works.
