I'm not sure what TRK was trying to say, either!

Ideally, an air intake is positioned at a high-pressure area, like the base of a windshield. The location of the engine in our cars rules that out, so Porsche has an intake on the side of the car, which isn't a high-pressure spot, Apparently, there is enough flow over the side intake that it isn't a problem.
