Re: [T3] Is this a myth? Backwards side vents?

Yeah, I realized that. Actually, it would work with the idea that the
vents on Type 3's were designed to be in dead air zone. The area at the
base of the rear window should in theory be about as dead as it gets, right?

Are the rear fenders on a notchback dimensionally the same as
fasty/square fenders, and are only different with regards to the
presence/absence of louvers? Not being as familiar with the rear layout
of the Notchback, why is the Notch's cooling system different in this
respect?

You know, the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous the vacuum
theory sounded regarding the fenders- you would need a helluva vacuum to
cause real trouble with the cooling system, right?
