[Land-speed] cold air supply question

[Dave Dahlgren]

Cold air gains 1% for every 7 degrees F more ore less drag for inlet is V^3 
how fast do you go and where do you think the trades are ? here is a hint if 
you get colder air with an inlet that is just big enough that the engine 
uses all the air and basically sucks a hole in the air where the scoop is it 
could be a winner if it builds static pressure it is drag..
