    Yeah, that's kinda what I figured it was. Speaking of air brakes: from the fertile minds of the Mercedes engineering dept. :rolleyes: .........

    You sure on that? given its location I would think it would be an active traction aid - turn the wheel left and it deploys, giving the inside wheel more bite. Though I wonder on the force it takes to activate given it is way forward of the center of pressure...

    Yes the germans cut the 2 little holes so the driver could use the rear view mirror.


    The Concannon speed brake is directly in the airstream not dealing with drivers head and turtle back . I doubt it operated fast enough for braking and acceleration needs.
