• What is the Reverse Engineering Mythbusters Car?
    9 replies, posted
I was just watching tv, and I saw the mythbusters take a 1970's sports car apart and reverse the body. Other than the sensation that I was about to throw up, I didn't know what that car was and I wish I knew. Does anyone know? [url]http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-reverse-engineering/[/url] this is a part of them taking it apart. a minute or so into the video you can see the car.

Looks like a Porsche 928, they were good cars as far as I know.

What myth were they trying to bust?
If I'm correct they were testing if cars go faster in reverse or something like that...I only watched for a minute or 2.
The myth was "Are '70s sports cars as aerodynamic driving backward as it is forward?"
