Kurt,

Is the lower radiator baffle/tray in place and securely attached? It's there for a reason, as is the top baffle running along the top of the engine. Also, the front spoiler is important and must be tightly attached to the valance.

Aerodynamics of these cars is very touchy, and some of these plastic pieces, while innocent looking, do perform some weird aerodynamic functions around the engine compartment.

Just guessing here.
