[s-cars] I will NOT buy MORE UNDERTRAY Hardware!

[LL - NY]

FWIW, when Mihnea (sp?) did the road tune of my car, we tested both with,
and without the undertray, stock IC. The difference in intake temps was (as
I recall) around 8 degrees, F, I assume, according to Mihn's readouts.  I'm
betting the ducts do something, and the road tune only had a couple of shall
we say, high speed bursts (as opposed to sustained) such that Autobahn
speeds weren't needed for the undertray to show how it helps airflow.
