There was a thread a while ago where someone did a bunch of testing with all kinds of scenarios........maybe someone knows where it is.

Good point, Soap - but look at it this way: (obviously, this is speculation at this point, I'm sure the tremendous cavity of a bed must have SOME effect on airflow) - Not talking about safety, which vehicle would have a higher top-end? The vehicle with a spoiler? Or the exact same vehicle without?
Personally, I run the tonneau cover... I'm suprised it hasn't come off at speed, but the stitching is starting to pull through - I've had my truck up to 170, on the built-in odometer function's electronic speedometer... That curbed rim makes a HUGE difference in smoothness at that speed!!

Not to mention - I LITERALLY was watching the gas needle move, in real-time!
Only ran that fast for about a second though - no passengers, wouldn't put anyone else at risk WITH me... If a deer or something jumped out in front of me, I don't even want to IMAGINE the mess....
Worst part is, that was a public highway, at about 5:30 in the morning, on the way back from Florida...... Also the dumbest thing I've probably ever done.
Regardless, though, that tonneau cover held up, for the most part!

Problem is, I'd probably be PART of that jerkey!

Hell, I'd love to take this thing on the Autobahn, or a cannonball run.... I'd just be worried about obliterating this stock motor and trans.... Could you imagine trying to sustain like 140+ in this thing??

Haha - the whole thing would just be a MESS - the L, the deer, everything... My question is, is there a certain point in speed, where I would just BLOW through the deer, unscathed?
