I supposed I could do a front air dam, and a partial blocking of the radiator (though that sounds somewhat scary), but the rest of those are taken care of by most of the standard features on modern automobiles. I can't smooth out the front any more, and the tail ends are usually not as steep as the pinto's was.

Unfortunately what cost $11 then would probably cost $100 or more nowadays.

$51.36, adjusted for inflation. :) Good point!

Just don't do ANY of those engine modification things. All scams.
