I strongly disagree.
I was uncomfortable every time I passed a truck at highway speeds and always
had some noticeable buffeting along with sideways drift - UNTIL I installed
a front spoiler (air dam?) on my '65 (car). After that, my highway speeds
are faster, smoother, and very little buffeting past a truck with almost no
side drift - unless there is already a strong (over 30 mph cross wind).
Granted, there is still some - but SO minimized from what it used to be that
I'll not have a LM (anyway) without one. Only early I ever had is the
Rampside. Even the Rampside has one - but it came that way, so I don't know
what it would be like without. I DO know that it is a bit like driving a
billboard on a windy day, so I can only imagine what it might be otherwise.
Both vehicles are properly aligned and with appropriate tires.
Respectfully...
