Weight is not as important as you think -- the Jacobs fairing, and the Dolphin, and the Seven, are proof of this. And frontal area is minor compared to the Cd -- if the Cd is 0.2, then the entire frontal area is reduced to 1/5th. Do you really think the Volt has a bigger frontal area because of the 'T' shaped battery pack; or are the transverse 4-banger and it's radiator swamping that?
