Did you know . . .
In 1968, Chrysler was having issues with their Hemi powered Chargers in NASCAR. At top speed, the car became unstable due to air getting under the car due to the flat front grille (Charger 500). Plus Chrysler was convinced the car could go faster if it could "cut" through the air better.
Chrysler Racing called in some engineers, including a few recent transplants from their missile division, and asked what they could do to make the cars go faster and handle better at higher speeds. "Put a nosecone on it" . . .
