It was a tongue in cheek response to the aero-ecoli-cap idea. I know real cars are way to turbulent. Thanks for the intersting technical information though i didnt know all of that. I think with the HLFC they use a shape thats good at laminar flow similar to the the naca wings and then use suction through a laser perforated surface to keep the boundarly layer flow from getting turbulent much farther back from the edge than otherwise possible.
