   Ive always wondered if those fins on the Jaguars did much.

   The longtail fin improved directional stability at high speeds [the drivers could take their hands off the wheel at 170mph +]
   The fin was offset three degrees from the car's centerline to counteract airflow over the left side of the body
   
   You can see the offset here
