Ford Mustang Aerodynamics

In this short video we look at some dye injection of the Ford Mustang (fifth gen) to visualize some of the aerodynamics. Shout out to Wayne Hsu for performing these tests during his internship at the University of Toronto.

I know this is an older video but it would be very interesting to see this with a 1966 Mustang.

Spectacular vid as always, Gray. Really appreciate all the hard work! Fascinating stuff!!!

[@robertomoyaiii3136]

Could you remake this video in full investigation from forward lip separation to spoiler difference?

[@jacobrzeszewski6527]

Roberto Moya III Man, I would love to see this channel make a comeback.

[@johnb1447]

Always interesting. Can you explain a little more about the wake at the rear. In particular if one design is better than another and then will have less drag etc

[@l8tapex]

Been needing to see this... this many year later! Under car? Thanks!

[@legolasok3321]

Impressed and intresting! I woul like to see tests of the front "downforce lip" and the rare self activated wing with brake-flip-up" on the trunk and rear diffuser on mustang 2005-2014.

[@Wooley689]

That's interesting to see. So a deck lid spoiler would be worse for high speed?

[@longloopslad1974]

Spoilers are only good for downforce for track use. They’ll pretty much always ruin your top speed

[@longloopslad1974]

Thing of the raised portion of the spoiler literally pushing against the air you’re trying to drive through. It’s hard to go faster when you have something in your way

[@zoot885]

Can you do a video on rear flow with the m3 style trunk spoiler similar to jettas. Since everyone sports them bec they're a cheap ebay add on

[@xBIGMUSCLEx]

Thanks for this. What happened to the hydrogen bubbles?

[@RotaryRebuilder]

+BIGMUSCLE we were just trying a new technique. Decided to use it on the mustang model.

[@xBIGMUSCLEx]

GraysGarage thanks! hydrogen bubble is still king!

[@coryholbrook4643]

Oof, hydrogen bubble method is vastly superior. I did like the top down view though. To have a wire that could be moved along the full width of the model would be even better to see how flow around the sides of the car performs. I was hoping to see on this generation Mustang how flow is around that huge, blocky front end is. This dye method really lacks a lot of detail.

Highly unscientific
