I think Wagonman experienced a scenario which led to him abandoning the skirts on the Celebrity.That I cannot explain.I've never encountered anything in the published literature,that report that skirts can add drag,however,in aero,its prudent to look at everything on a case-specific basis.-------- With respect to the CRX,you will not encounter this problem.Also,the performance of a boat-tail is compromised by the deletion of the skirts as they help provide clean,energetic air onto the tail.It's a synergy that needs to be respected.
