Sorry! I just now discovered all the additional pages on Andrew's project.Time for my big self-administered head-slap.Ouch! And your right.If the numbers show drag reduction,its a reduction,regardless of the frontal area.And I can't speculate on what C and D's logic was back in '74,to make the dam so low,so I'll hush and just respect the numbers for what they are.The CIVIC nose may project further forward than the Pinto's,so Andrew may have to watch speed closer on driveway approaches.
