I agree that tuft testing will be key, and as Darin's brief experiment with wheel strakes showed, they will help a significant amount. And they should act to stabilize things by improving the flow underneath.

This car is the culmination of everything we have been learning here on Ecomodder. And the workmanship is wonderful. With a couple of good photos, this project deserves a place front and center on the Ecomodder homepage.
